Sounds great. I was playing with my mono spring yesterday and I had it in the lowest position possible, the wheels were approx. 0.5" from the wheel wells and this is with out the big block in! I love the system even though I haven't yet driven it! :cheers:

Handles pretty darn well!! Posted pics so you can see how it looks installed.

Also new wheel Pic I would recomend this set up I put the setting at "Level 2" and it handles great. Used the Alignment specs from VBP and it sticks!

This and the TT II's are great
