yes alot, in my convertable while cruising at the summernats my carpet caught fire

capt bill try putting like a third link from the top of yor diff forward and mounted to the floor (will need bracing) that's what i did with the V8 ute i used to own and that stopped the problem, also bill did you see the pics of my mates FC with the injected small block

Mmmmm, I may have fluked it and done something right. Nothing hits even with the pram and two kids in kidseats in the back, although on full lock I hear the front tyres just scrubbing the gaurds.

The bottom of the rear spring mount was around 115mm... but I think its lower than that now

After driving to the nationals this year I decided to put an extra leaf in the back, and noticed the tail shaft was hitting the floor in two spots (no wonder the CD player couldn't stop jumping

), since the extra spring went in I have had no trouble at all even with 3 kids and a pram in the boot, and it only raised the car about 10mm, Trev

You Blokes just need IRS.
No chance for the tailshaft to hit the floor.

Thats pritty much what im going to try now ratbox.Got one above the top of the diff housing,and one on the top of the diff centre,think that one is a factory one but im altering it to suit my car.also just found two crushed rear brake lines.The diff tubes are hitting the chassis causing them to crush.Saw your mates fc ratbox.cool.looks like theres plenty of room for that booster.
