Is the sweeper hard to drive if the road isn't smooth and taken care of? Can it get pretty harsh?

definitely a PITA to drive around but damn everywhere i go people get paralyzed, its funny to see the look on peoples faces when they see how low this car actually is. Just drive carefully and everything will be alright

i am on GC 550f/750r springs so its rough but not soo harsh the konis are the ishhh

I feel ya on that one. My car's not as low as your's but is a PITA to drive in Madison with all the road work. I find if the roads to torn up i just have to go slow and my car well appreciate it. Fuck those ppl riding behind that dont understand!!! hahah my budz laugh cuz i know where all the major bumps are and what's the smoothest way downtown!

you don't have a skid plate yet.;)

[ubernasty]

IIRC there is a way to gain a little more oil pan clearance by spacing your motor mounts to raise the engine.... probably not much but something.

Im running GC/Koni with 600f/700r. How did you get the front that low? Shortened koni? GC camber plates? I have an M42 and already scrape on the crown of the street; gonna get GC camber plates and go an inch lower though.

sorry if I missed the info but where did you get the kit?
thanks
PS Looks very nice !
