If you have the gear then of say notch is as a precaution anyway. Plus if gives you the option on flooring that boat!

Chassis notch will defo be needed!! My drivers side drive shaft was catching on coils so going even lower will defo need a notch.

Air is great for practicality but you may aswel have it low when parked up so no point not notching it!!

Hockey puck mod is a cheap alternative to raise the engine if worried about the sump! With air unless you will  e dragging the underneath around at full speed the sump should be plenty safe enough. On coils is defo a different matter

Car is looking sweet aswel dude

Cheers Mr Fizz.There you have it,notch required.Will get the steel cut out and formed at work this weekend.Did you have to do both sides or just the drivers mate?

Is this the same for a vr though? ive got my coilies wound right down - sump inch n alf' of the floor but drive shafts dont catch.

Saying that though, ive never checked how much clearance i have

No worries bud.

Yeah both sides done so can lay frame. No worries with clearence now!! Depending how low you want it to sit on air there is a hell of a lot more involved to get it low low!!
