lower body idea.. has anyone thought of this?

i was just thinking about it... i don't know if anyone ever thought of this idea tho but when i was just now fitting my body to ajust the tabs right (witch i was trying to do on a supra.), i found that if didn't have enough room. so i was doing some thinking on how to make room so i removed the plasic part that covers the PBC and tape it down to make it more stable. or push the chip even further and sand the outsides to make it even lower. im in the prosses of it right now. just have to glue the tabs on and im set! just posting to inform the board to see what they think about it.

Most bodies require you to remove the PCB cover to loer the body enough. I ususally do this to all of mine anyways. If you want to go even lower, sometimes I shave some of the top of the tabs that hold the stabilizer bar, Either that or shave under the hood where it would hit. Also, some bodies like the 350Z have to be shaven out on the inside where the heatsink screw would hit.

Nice job supra! That is way lower than stock. Nice job with the old school DUB's too.

BTW....Try resizing your pics before posting.

Dremel those wheel wells out and you should be able to get that thing about a 1/16" off the ground if not lower.
