Really? It's standard Sprint shocks & spring with 185 tyres <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> No clearance issues I've encountered.<br>

Better than when I first got it, when it was 3" lower! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Yep, mine's about as low as yours was, but the exhausts go under the sump, leaving me with... wait for it... one inch ground clearance! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Hilarious until you take your sister for a lift, ask her whether there are any speed bumps along the way (she thinks hard and says "no"), only to find out, half way down a one-way street that there aren't any speed bumps, but there *are* several 6" raised pedestrian crossings... Metal on tarmac is a horrible sound. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Your motor looks much nicer than mine tho Lewis - the stealth look is the one to go for <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> (He says, having had to put a boy racer bonnet scoop on his own once stealth-sprint in order to clear my new, and utterly useless carbs - see overheating post)<br>

The saga continues...
