I think i'm gonna save up for the BCs :)

There seems to be enough room around the back wheels when on full lock, but if I run into trouble i should be able to sort it out with spacers I'd have thought.

Anyone have any experience with the BCs or know how low they can go?

Right, looking on their website, it doesn't give the maximum figure they can be lowered; but it does say this..

"The mount can be wound up and down the damper body to give a full range of adjustment from near standard ride height to so low it wouldn’t be drivable on the road."

Hopefully this will prove low enough for you. :lol: ;)

Here's the link if you want to check it out yourself.

I looked into that before, but I think I was put off by the price.

@RattyMcClelland or @NafemanNathan, could you post a link to these 'K Sports' while we're on the subject then? Always interested in multiple options..even if they're quite expensive.

How much are they then, and how are they better than BC's..if at all?

Cheers. ;)

And Ratty, for the record, there will be a time at some point in the future where we have a conversation about paintwork rejuvenation. ;)

The Legends of Ratty McClelland and his magic spray gun have been foretold..and they are good. :P 8-)

When only the best will do..
