scrapped the saxo today
it needed some sus so i decided to have a laugh and take on lee(vtr1) for rideheight

i won by 1/2 an inch (yes we measured lol)
fitted the front sus with no springs in
and the rear beam was lowered to touching the bumpstops

obvoisly this setup isnt road legal or safe to drive though lol
