yesterday got most of my fk 40mm kit put on
except i had 50mm springs up front i left.

it became undrivable
since i was on standard shocks before up front it was ok but now the arch sits on the tyre coz of the shorted shocks.

tried filin arches down a bit no use


fk 40mm rear unknown 50mm front on fk shocks (bit higher on rear but stil to ware in)


b4
gmax 40mm rear unknown 50mm front on standard shocks




jus wondered what car wud be like on chromes

shortened shocks = they move less, e.g have less distance to travel
