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

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.
