RE: Official Smartech Thread
the shocks will have no effect on ride height. the height is usually changed by turning in or out set screws in the lower arms. once the screws are backed out enough the arms rest on the chassis which is as high as it will go with bending the chassis itself. The tsais rear exhaust wont help....after looking the rear tire would hit the manifold...just be changing one problem for another.
I do have another idea for you though....they make aluminum wheel extensions that will fit these. i think they are 1"-1.5". Ill hunt down a link for you but i think that will be the easiest route to go.
the bell and gears i used were from hpi on the car in the first pic....heres the numbers
