    I've been down that familiar road. Many a sleepless night even w/o the aid of caffeine.:)

    But...if my math is right, and I think it is (I might use fingers AND toes...of every one around me...but the job gets done!), that means it'll only have been liked 698 times...I feel shafted missing those other two...

    Did that on purpose, mate. Get you as close as possible to having a 7 in the number of times it was liked (6, 9, 8), but just not quite reaching the number of perfection. That was almost a perfect post. But not quite. :nonod:

    Hmmm....sounds like I've got my work cut out for me. My friends here know that to me, almost is only good in horseshoes, hand grenades, and atomic bombs.

    Would you be impressed to know then that in order to be on this forum on my phone, I've been standing one legged on a milk crate which is balanced on only one corner, with my left middle finger in my right nostril and a q-tip in each ear, playing Metallica's "Enter Sandman" on the kazoo in a vain attempt to maintain signal?

    I have a permanent I/V of a mixture of Jet Fuel and Coffee streaming into my veins. As far as the kazoo, I feel the Oboe and the Synth are too mainstream...I think I'll start a band called Lance the kaZOOKEEPER and the Wild Animals.

    I hate to keep bumping this thread, but for some reason I still can't post anywhere else. Lol. ;P

    Basically I'm looking for advice on dropping an R53. As great as I think the rear seat delete+cage look is, I need to occasionally have passengers (But the rear seats will be staying down most of time). How low can you drop the rear of the R53 and still hold between 200-300 pounds of passengers in the rear without serious rubbing?? Looking at going for KW V1s, if that helps. With snow right around the corner and us getting up to a few feet sometime, it won't be happening anytime soon, I'll be getting some winter wheels+tires and doing some cosmetic mods first, but come spring I'd like to have as much knowledge on this as possible.

    Only about 3/4 of an inch before it starts having problems... Rear control arms are needed after that, and with weight you will knock the fender arches off because it WILL bottom out. ;)

    So basically, I can go down no more than 3/4 inch with passengers? Or if I add rear control arms can I keep going lower?

    Oh crap! He meant to post this in NAM! Just kidding.

    Just out of curiosity, are you looking for more show or more go?
