Not a chance. Maybe a mild 5k later but for now the 3k will stay. I'm not going to change anything that can't be changed back easily.

More info in the front suspension please. Did you remove the leafs from the front.

No AE70 I did not remove the transeverse leaf in the front its not worth removing it almost acts as a swaybar or brace if you like, and the original struts are still in place so i kept it in place.

Thought I had better ask, Todd, do you have any suspension travel in the front of that thing? My ke10 is currently sitting that low in the nose and it's at the end of travel of the strut inserts/shocks. I love the hieght, it's exactly where I want it but the only way I can see myself getting there is shortening the shuts and converting to coilovers with inserts to suit.

 

Can we grab some more info?

 

By the way, it's one horn looking little rolla!
