i like it! its probably not as low as people want for instagram, but like if you actually need to drive the thing, it works better higher up
if you looked at the race cars from 79-80 they aren't that low

Exactly! It's usable and doesn't rub, or clunk, etc.

A touch lower in the rear would be good but I kinda like the slight rake

The two I bought did not come with a set screw- Carrera literature says this isn't needed but I'm going to drill/tap/add a dog point set screw just in case.


Did you get these installed? I'm now looking at going this route too.
