It was umm...stiff to say the least.
If you want great handling i wouldnt suggest decking it, yes mine handled better than stock height, and the arse end would kick out non stop, but thats also how i like to drive, left boot braking and liftoff out of nearly every corner i went into.
Stripped out fully, plastic windows, holes in panels, it was light and for a 1.1 it went well tbh.
Few problems being that low, i would catch cats eyes on the bumper and mid pipe. I ripped the xhaust off, nearly every other day, went through two sumps in about 4 months. Changed wheel bearings, every few months, top mounts would last a week before exploding.
Pas pipes need to be removed or relocated. And put some sort of guard under your fuel tank too, i put a hole in mine a few times. Thats a nightmare.
