tca / ie bar lowering

Post by PRICER »

just been thinking, you know you have to lower the front track controll arms if your fitting a F28 gearbox yea, and also if you fit a c20xe to stop the front end from pulling up, but if you fitted them to a 1,2 or 1,4 or 1,6 this would do the same thing wouldnt it? as in make the suspension harder.

just something i was thinking about thats all,

cheers

the reason for lowering on an xe is because the exhaust hits the antiroll bar no other reason for doing it
