    I know you understand the benefits of having a low centre of gravity but with corrected suspension gemoetry. Re-designing & re-building the whole front end is very very expensive. If an improvement can be made with a relatively cheap spacer then why not.

    Lower the chassis, correct the roll centre issues and raise the top mounts for suspension travel if required. All this has to help!

    syncro stuff is big and heavy and you need to fabricate a link between the axle and rear mount if your not using the diff.

    Very nice.

    But if you go as far as to do that front and rear, and plan to fit a big ass cage, you may aswell space frame the whole car and jus skin it with MK2 panels :lol:
