skid much?

[VacMan]

Ben Carufel was selling a new old stock one of those a while ago. I think the reason you had to do so much fabbing is because it was intended to go on an IX, not an IS. I'm betting the subframe for an IX has the mounting points you had to create. Either way, looks like you guys did some nice work. :up:

Bs, your cars not "that" low.

When you show me a vid of you leaving a spark trail I'll believe you.

Oil pan is 1.5" off the ground. If I ad a skid plate, that leaves less than an inch. Sure I could drive with it like that, but it would get annoying because it would scrape on everything. Like the E30, the undercarriage of the E28 hangs lower than the car, so its a mind game.
