Bugger wish i could get it done for free :) as for the solid rear end, spoke to a guy about it and he said once it squats youre losing traction, so his advice was to stop the squat as much as possible (i hate to think what it would do to the shock mount points and diff etc) but he was supposably an expert and its something i guess ill try. Im aware 12s aint easy (seen so many cars with big Hp come away with bruised egos) but as you said bit of experience and water testin and ill be happy to just be out there. cheers anyways regards chris
