i've seen them done, and i'd say unless you were building a space frame race car the rubber cones are just fine

no not too much bounce at all, the standard setup is pretty damn good, good enough to win rallies and track races.

we have 13's on our mini with hi-los, but we also have cut guards so we can run it fairly low, without cutting the guards you have to keep it fairly high or it will scrub.

the more you cut the lower you can go i guess but dont forget about the exhaust and the sump clearance

nope, the main problem is when the wheels scrape as you turn around a corner, the rear wheels dont turn so its ok.

before guards were cut, couldnt drive it at all

after guards were cut, still scraped on bumps and bumpy corners

after hilos were fitted
