When I opened up the shop this morning, I had 2 escorts up on the lifts---one road race version and one rally car version. We cracked up when we noticed the difference in the suspension when the car was fully drooped out. The lowered KSPORT suspension at droop is lower than most cars at ride height and the HOTBITS rally suspension is crazy long travel!! Look at the gaps in the wheel to fender area...The tires on the roadrace car are smaller than the rallycar!

I store a couple of Porsche's for the shop next door and then the bulk of my work comes from putting rollcages/safety gear in them. Last year it was Boxsters for the spec series---this year it seems to be 996's...honestly I'd really rather build rally escorts all day but I guy's got to make a livin'!!!sigpicwww.piercemotorsports.com www.piercemotorsport.com Like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...91292610897146

Sure you can have the garage---I'll rent you the upstairs "stripper lounge" where all the expresso bikini girls take their breaks.
The street Ksport suspension has about 2 1/4" of droop and about 3 3/4" of uptravel at ride height in the rear. The front probably is about the same just flipped...I wouldn't want to drive the racecar suspension on the street---we ran it at the IDAHORALLY tarmac event (1st place, 2ND overall!!) and it was brutal/exhausting...sigpicwww.piercemotorsports.com www.piercemotorsport.com Like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...91292610897146
