SLO-030 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 std bumps will not let you go any furthur than 130mm from sills. so you would be running 150mm ish from sills. hardly 2' lower. Pending wheel size/ tyre height ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillin Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 i think my 55 is around 2 inch lower in the rear and is about 1/2 a inch from the bumpstops and still legal! So how do the above pictures depict this quote? what base hight were you working from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 nfi. i went from the ground to top of the guard. I'm pretty sure it went down 2inch's I'm not arguing with you I'm just letting you know thru my experience of lowering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillin Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry bro, I'm trying to nut out where your coming from. Your comment sounded to me like you had the rear height of your 55 to 2' lower than mine and still legal. 60mm from the sills is illigal in QLD thats why i was hasseling for answers. Now i get that you were working from stock height, and nothing to do with the update. Cheers for the pics to clarify what you were saying.

Chillin Posted January 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes you do. But i run a stock exhaust so i don't think the 5.0 will worry to much about poping the hood. People up here are pretty relaxed witch is awesome :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillin Posted February 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Purchased a sweet 5k last weekend, currently giving it a once over while i get a manifold for the carbies. Rust repair is set to begin in the next few weeks then paint!!! I don't have a camera atm, but have taken the roof racks off... love it! Will be attending the all jap classic on the 20th of this month, hopefully engine will be in. Edited February 9, 2011 by Chillin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
