Re: Droop cables....

Lol, told you it was arcane ;-)
Droop cables are steel cables that restrict the downward travel on the wishbones, kinda like a one-way antiroll bar. It's old school tech - we still use them on top hats, HTCC the like.
Bit of an ask really but worth a punt!

Re: Lowering a 2.5 but keeping the standard shocks

please remember that if your spring is cut (I DO NOT condone this, sorry Wayne) it MUST maintain contact with the spring platforms at all times - eg when jacked up, or it's an MOT fail.

Re: Bomb?

Hi, please remember that exhaust work is a supporting mod. By supporting I mean other elements within the same system - intake & full exhaust, with timing changes (!!) to see a little benefit

To get real benefits it's cams and head work + more
