I will go SSSSSL's as soon as I move, I promise While it is high, apparently it is back to STOCK height (although it does look higher) I am hoping the Koni's will make the car more drivable, I guess I will find out what it is like on the track soon.Now where did I put my sand tyres and snatchem strap Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17992-rtv-t-raising-the-t/page/2/#findComment-259127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 03/06/05 02:46 AM Share Posted 03/06/05 02:46 AM The better fix? Bigger rims with only a 5 point change the tyre profile....Would give you about an inch of extra diameter, or half an inch in ground clearance....Would have cost about the same, plus the car would now look about 100 times better....But then again, you do more burnouts than an entire street meet, so this was probably the safer option.
