how on earth do you get all your minis that low

i have the Hi Los.. but i just gettin scrubbing!!.. might be better now i have new cones... not slammed him yet with these

at one point the clearnce between the rear wheel and the arch was no wider the the ignition key... laid flat!!

also i now have racing shocks.. will this help with the scrubbing?

Will help if there stiffer, but the ignition key clearance is a little silly.

I had a 1 finger gap and that was harsh.

Inspiration to what im going to do :genius: perhaps i wont go as low as this though due to Bast**d edinburgh but, im on 10x6's so i'll test out a couple of heights. Do you guys notice if the handling is improved? Going with hilo's and probably spax lowered shocks.
