To me it looks like it could really use a 2-3" drop all round, but nice car regardless!! Any more pics?? How close to the ground is the LH8 pan right now?

well i havent taken a pic of the pan yet, but here is a rough idea of what it looks like from BRP's website, plus right now we have a steel hood on the car and are about to put a fiberglass one on, so I am gonna wait before I do any lowering to see where the car is gonna sit with the lighter hood on.

Wow, that picture really illustrates the weight difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 3/4 motors.
