Hi,

You don't have to use them for an rc 40, I never did but they do belp with a bit of extra ground clearance...

With the increase in speed humps, despite the Gov't advising councils not to have them, the need for increased ground clearance has increased as has the need for the exhaust system on our little old cars to be as close to the underfloor as possible.

 

The rubber rings/hooks of the later systems really do make the exhaust hang down too much, but fortunately reversion to the early mounting system is very easy. It is also easy to raise the ride height a bit as well.

Previous owner had fitted hi-lo's and dropped it as far as it goes it seems.  Raising it is something I should have tackled myself but just checked it into the local garage this morning to get it lifted and checked out
