Re: Just picked couple new kits...

I think mine had about 5-6mm, with smaller diameter " 17 inch " (bullshit, they were the same diameter as Fujimi BBS 15" wheel/tyres...) wheels on it as opposed to the 19" ones that are about 2mm taller...so its severely lowered. Like I say I had to carve the wheelarches out of the chassis, the back tyres will protrude slightly into the back seat area, I had to cut the "sump" moulding out so it would be easier to drill the axle holes inline with my pin vise... it was a nightmare. Sounds like it might be be easier with the Koenig benz though..
