Interesting height comparison: 200 vs 100

[spressomon]

Well...Christo is doing his best to talk me into a 200 . So while being at his shop the past few days he countered to my "my 100 has more clearance than the 200...and that is one reason I wouldn't consider a 200..." by saying he thought the front clearance to ground looked very similar between the 200 in his shop and my 35" equipped 100. It just didn't look like it to me. So today, before I left, Christo pulled out a tape measure and the end result was quite surprising to me!

Max front clearance (measured from ground to diff bracket): 13.25" (200 series with 32" rubber) and OME coilovers)
Max front clearance (measured from ground to diff drop bracket: 13.5" (100 series with 35" rubber and ~ 2.75" lift).

Amazing! Put the 35" on the 200 and the clearance would be quite impressive to say the least! And the CV and steering tie rod angles are not near as acute as my 100!

Now if we can just do something about the approach and departure angles ...Hmmm...maybe I need to be looking for a deal on a twundy! But Christo has to build a front bumper for one first .

Hey, don't let Shotts see this. He would have to go buy one as well. His main reason for not buying a 200 is now shattered as well.

What is also more impressive is that at that height, the 200s till has more droop than the 100 in front. I have to measure exactly but I thought it was close to 3"

This makes me very happy

I would not expect a front bumper from slee anytime soon.....at least not from what he told me!

After I get my suspension components in from you Christo (thanks, btw!), I will have to drive mine over to him! We live in the same town but have yet to wheel together or run into each other.

Slee, do you have any future products coming out for the 200??? Please let us know what is on the drawing board!
