[quote=David Hodgson;1364348]RMC and Gforce are a bit droopy in the rear. I would suggest it's just the nose up stance that is exacerbating the droop in that pic. /QUOTE]

David's comments are spot on.

The series 1 chassis is very similar to the later series 2 chassis except for the top side rail as shown on the pic of Baz's chassis.

Also note from the pic of the IRS that the drive shafts are angled upwards from the diff center to the alloy uprights/hubs.

On the series 2 chassis RMC lowered the upper coilover mount by 25mm to center the wheel in the wheel arch and to overcome the droopy butt look.. (ie. Raised the ride height)

In a lightly loaded condition ie. no Tank, no battery(in the boot) and no driver, those drive shafts should be inclined from the diff center downwards to the uprights/hub.

With a jag IRS those drive shafts should be horizontal at ride height when loaded with half a tank of petrol, the battery in the boot and the driver in the car.
