New style CRS front end

Post by Blacky »

Craig (fc ute) has fitted a CRS front end into a customers car , this is how much lower it makes the front end sit over a stock height kingpin front end -

Must come standard with drop spindles does it Blacky?

I know the FC guys who have fitted the V6 Conversions front end have been having trouble with incorrectly rated springs on the shockies.

Is the engine in the car in the photo?

It went straight in, no issues t all - I was interested to know myself considering every item I have used from CRS took a heap of fettling to get right :evil: Looks like they have finally got it together !

I suppose the other question that comes to my mind is that CRS are still using the front mounted rack V6 Conversions use the rear mount and I'm not sure of the the other couple.
I would be interested to know if CRS have solved any of their front mount issues that they had in the past.
