And that's not very practical in CHCH these days. It's hard on the spine too. (I must be getting old)

Are you planning on coming to Hanmer Nathan?
Yea its all ready as low as i wont to go with current suspension, any lower would make it as you say impracticable :( and i jsut dont have the funds or knowledge to make some sweet John (skdmarks) suspension

If i can sort out the heating issue i plan to come to hanmer, (not sure if you have seen old school thread about it getting hot) but they think it all points to the radiator so I'm looking at options at the moment and just hope that fixes it.

I think 15's have a lot going for them.
All the cool kids wheels seem to be in 13's or 14's though.
