Looks good, Im sure the extra droop will aid in very bumpy tracks! I believe there a few guys on here that have done that too????

Just a question - What did you "modify"? Cant see anything...

On Magnus car at the worlds we used more droop then what I can see on that car on the picture.

BTW, you have the rear bumper piece upsidedown!

Lol, Dont want to get that engraving scratched eh?

He dremeled the rear arms right below where the cv's come out of the hub. there is a nub there preventing the arms to lower, but when you take down the nub it will allow more drooping.....

yup i know exactly what you are saying....

Missed the fact that your arms where swapped left and right also...

That was what I was wondering as the "only" mod you need to do when wanting more droop in the rear is smoothening out the inside of the outdrives on the diffs and for shure that was not visible in that picture... The droop can never be more then when you feel that the bones get caught in the outdrive slots though. Even if you dont feel it on the wrench board, if you see those marks in the bones, you propobly need to decrease the droop or smoothen out the "edge" in the outdrives.

yup i can see where they would rub the cups

i got it set so it stops just before that happens, and the arms are fixed :oops:

Show us a picture now with the arms installed correctly. You should have way more down travel now. :lol:

I never run enough rear down travel to bind the universals, so I don't mod the out drives. I tried full down travel in Sweden, and my car traction rolled all the time. Then I limited it to where I normaly run it, and my car was dialed and had way more steering and corner speed.
