Djexor's 86 - Making progress

[NoHachi]

Massive spacers don't always fit inside rims.. and with a proper 60mm dropped race height corolla and 40mm spacers those RCA's have to be something HUGE to get anything back to spec. Definately not off the shelf available no?

Also, since you raise the chassis relative to the steering rack other wonkeyness is introduced. I thought long an hard about it a long time ago and concluded that the compromises didn't way up against the benefits, but haven't remembered most of the stuff: things like roll axis inclination, anti-squat at the rear etc. Ground clearance is reduced by a further 40mm (imho huge) without the optical benefits of lowering.

My guess is that any race shop can make you custom mounts for less then the JSP-Fab stuff, or just buy one of the std rally design engine mount kits and adapt to suit. Tranny tunnel is just sheetmetal work. Same price, same awesome engine, better engine location (F20C is a pig compared to the 4AGE, you need it as far back and down as you dare) and no geometry compromises.

I do understand the attraction of the plug and play idea though.. Just believe that it can be done near plug and play without the spacers. He did a SR20DET kit in the same way and I have seen many an SR sit perfectly fine inside the hachi without any need for chassis spacers.
