Default 993 Track Ride height

I got this pic from Steve Weiner.

I am planning on "torching" my springs to get to the ideal ride height, maybe 10mm below RS ride height.

By "torching" I mean burn up the wallet.

If you have all the right goodies (uprights, shocks) then run it low. I have mine set a Cup ride height, makes it a challenge getting it on the trailer, but looks and handles wonderfully.

It just went up a tad because of the switch in tires, the new ones are a tad taller than the old ones

Race Ramps take the pain out of loading and unloading

11ft Trailex ramps + 4ft Race Ramps

I like the Race Ramps so much that I use a pair for my hoist as well as the trailer.

They behave like the original Toyo RA1's if you ever ran those. I used cold pressure of 30psi all around as a start and try to get hot temp hovering around 35 or 36 psi for best results. If you don't shave them they will last you a long time but of course won't be as grippy as say a BF G R1.

Funny how the reflection makes the rear fender on Ruby looks like it was widened.
