You can't just slam an FB you have to change the way the suspension works if you want to "Slam it" It's not that easy and there is tons of literature on the reasons you can't lower a FB chassis very much when using the stock configuration of suspension components. That includes lowering springs and struts to not be good enough to work. The car will handle horribly and the snap oversteer will be extremely hard to predict. Check out G-force engineering's parts and the small book written by Jim Susko for all the info about the suspnesion you brain can handle. Most normal tactics don't work like you would think for an FB chassis. It can drift quite well even stock height btw and the early commercials actualy show a bit of drifting for the FB check out you tube.

Get an FC more power, parts are usually easier to find and when done right there sexy. FC > FB, FD Ha Ha.

FC FTW, just dont crash it please :)

i vote slamming + mesh wheels though, but dont weld the diff if its a daily driver it sucks.
