The current version which has been out for a few months raised that lowest point 3/8"-1/2". Also that lowest point is where you're rear wheels are, so when going over speed bumps if you take them straight on you are golden my friend.
Hmm good to know. I know when I saw Birdman's F.I. set up at some of the meets it was really scary looking - I believe he has the first version (Bert chime in here if I am right/wrong). Gonna have to rethink this and take measurements.

Thanks buddy, just trying to help out. Tony is the man and his products are top notch. I saw a thread about someone worried about scraping around a month or so ago, I chimed in with that info that I received from Tony himself over the phone. It started a shitstorm because it wasn't made public sooner blah blah. It's not a change in the design it self, just simply raising the mufflers up to further prevent scraping. I just went back and found the post where Tony confirms this. Just hate to see someone not choose FI over something that is a non issue, heres the link to Tony's post, hope this helps

Sounds like the Gordon Biersch meet will be the perfect time. You'll have a lot of other more informed people to ask for advice as well

Kirk- still waiting on my new endlinks and FSB. Eibachs are just sitting in my apt right now...

Figure it's easier just to do those things at the same time...

How's your availability next weekend... Saturday or Sunday work for me!
