Terry, That brings me to another question with the IRS. I want to lower my car 1in along with heavy duty springs, koni shocks and natholine bushings all round. I am guessing that lowering it 1in in the rear would give it a negative camber, would the disadvantages of having negative camber outweigh the advantages of lowering the car? I am told negative camber is helpful for cornering but as you say, less tire footprint. I guess ways to over come this would be running a lower tire pressure? Basicly a want a good handleing car but I also want quick launches (hence wanting the big rubber) I'm open to suguestions James > >James, > >7" rims on a 810 SSS is usually not a problem but is a lot tighter on the >Aussie live axle.
