have you driven it like that? that low?
The last bug i had was that low when i picked it up. Its not a pleasant expeieriance, And ive lowered pretty much all my cars.
First thing i did when i got it home was adjust it up to a useable hight. Still low but not scary to drive.. They wallow all over the place like that . Sorta feels like a reliant robin but the wrong way round...

Sorta feels like a reliant robin but the wrong way round... Ive driven it a little, feels like any other mega slammed car with loads of camber to be honest! I take it yours didnt have extended spring plates? Meaning the rear wheels would have had loads of tow in! Being the drive wheels I'm sure that would make a car feel terrible! |
