Available shortly a bolt on kit that will alow the following
Commodore wheel pattern, could also offer Ford or HQ.
Commodore Twin piston Brakes with Vented disks
Able to retain most 14 inch Rims depending on rim off set
Kit will also Lower front end 35mm using original springs, shocks etc and will not alter steering geometry or alignment.
Will post more info as I get it but machining is complete but not yet available as finalising with Engineer.
Please reply if interested as machining expencive so the more interest the cheaper the product.

cheers Rogerfied

Would using an air-bagged suspension be another way to go without needing to channel out the front so much?

air bags wont work, well will on the back but will mess up the geometry and bump steer up front and could be an accident waiting to happen, a serious one
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

There is one CF that has airbags, the Primo CF,
from what I have seen online, some modification was done but it doesn't drop to the ground completely.
That's about as low as it goes in the photo -

That's just about as low as I would like anyway,

but an airbag system is too expensive for me right now...

There is a write up with pics somewhere on how they did the primo van

The guy who won it couldn't sell it, tried for months and months (think it was 30 down to 13k), in the end i think he gave up as they was no interest
