s1e2 suspenion

[malncol]

as far as i can tell the gravel spec s1e2 run 50mm spacers between front subframe and body, they must have lowered the engine mounts to suit the gearbox?? can anyone shed some light on why they did this, was it just for the extra bump travel and weight transfer or something else.
iam about to start setting the front up in mine and iam wondering if the 50mm mod is worth doing
thanks

Have a look on Bufkins page

There might be more info from the home page as well.

thanks some good info there.
it would appear that they had spacers front and rear? all the searching ive done only came across spacers in the front? ive allready modified the rear crossmember mounts but i was only going to run spacers in the front to help get the nose up /transfer etc, now iam not sure what to do
