I can probably drop the rear another 1/2" frame to floor, but that would be about it.
Hope this helps

PS fast cars ifs will probably be my next upgrade.

How do you like the stance & height as you've set it up?
I'm setting up my Cobra to have 5" ground to frame clearance, front & back. I hope I'm not going too low. I can always adjust it up, but shimming the half-shafts to get rear wheel camber correct can be a pain. I only want to do this once.
Fast Cars is a really great system Ted is a great guy. I believe that Unique Cobra IFS will fit the Butler too, but Fast Cars is a 2 hour drive for me, so I could check it out easily. I looked at all my receipts for putting together my modified MGB front end that I had already installed on my car and I spent about $3,000.00 and that was 15 years ago. I never put a mile on MGB IFS. I was never happy with having such a basic setup on the Cobra. I think it's a total mismatch for the super rear IFS. Was happy to be rid of it.

I like the stance and height very much, although this is a personal thing. Although these tires are not track tires, hold very well. Previously I was running BFG 295-50-15 on the rear and was about 3/4 inch lower. Will try to post a picture.

Arthur,
My car is 4.5" frame to ground, front and rear. My rear tires are 335x30x17". No rubbing. I like the low look and have not had any ground clearance issues as yet.

4 1/2"! Go-Kart style. You must have good roads too.
Russ, How are you enjoying your Fast cars IFS? I've made little progress on my build. I had a diving accident in Australia, got a brain hemorrhage and have spent four months recovering. Almost ready to get back to work on it.
