I like the BAT kit, but there is a problem with it. Leaving town (going back to school) I had a friend up front and three girls in the back. We got about 500 yards down the road when I hit a very small dip in the road, not even at an intersection. The rear fender's sharp edge rubbed slightly on my stock E1 tires. I want to lower it, but need some cargo ability, be it girls or luggage, for going back and forth from school. With the BAT's small drop, but higher spring rate, would I be ok? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. 1995 SE Mods- SVT Exhaust. SVT Intake, E1 SVT Wheels, BAT Euro Suspension, 20% tint sides and rear, 50% tint windshield. Future Mods- A new third syncro. It's my boring daily driver that I autocross on the weekends.

Bash it good. Problem solved. 1999 Silver Frost SVT #609 of 2760 Quaife, lightened SVT Flywheel, SPEC stage II clutch, removed resonator, k&n drop in - various other goodies too.
