Keep them coming guys and girls.

Learnt something new over the w.e
there is a difference in drive shafts between models. trickysimon's 4mo bora has smaller dia and solid drive shafts, where as mine has hollow and larger diameter driveshafts, this means he has more room to lower the car before having issues with it coming in contact with the chassis. This could explain why some cars manage to get a 50mm drop on a stock sway bar, where as others struggle even at 30mm... Ill do some more research and add this to the first few pages

Sounds like you are looking for excuses for me being lower than you are

Sometimes, I wish I was the iLLest lol.

I also wonder if there is a difference in track width between the 4mo and fwd cars
