This is with massive mods but shows you can go as low as you want

Nice one!

But it looks more as if it was dropped by a high crane and then they stepped in. :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

That low is just silly IMO. The ride must be awful !!!

I'm all for a bit lower for looks and handling but what gains if any do you get by driving around on the sump??
