Some Bolink bodies fit as well.
I have a VW Beetle (old style) body that fits the M03 perfectly

Need Help
I have a suspension question for anyone that can help.
I lowered my suspension on my M03L in the front to about 1.5mm - 2 mm and 4mm in the rear. As I was doing so, I noticed that my camber in the front is now at a -5 degree. This cones my front tires and I think it affects my handling.
Is there any way to bring the camber back to a -1 or make it adjustable?

Not unless you can make some real short camber links....
I do not believe there is a solution available over the counter .... The link is so short, making one from a turnbuckle and ball ends may well be impossible...

After the mod... don't throw away the original camber link. You need them to enter TCS or Asia Cup legally.

Okay, heres the problem.
I keep rolling my mini. I'm using m-grips on the front and s-grips on the rear. 80w F white spring / 50w R blue spring. I've tried sway bars in both the front and rear, on and off.
It was suggested by some of the guys at the track that I add spacers inside my shocks to limit the travel of the front piston to 2mm and the rear to 4mm, this is supposed to tighten up the front and rear by keeping the cars CG lower. Problem is, I still roll and the camber in the front seems to high.
Are there any other suggestions to accomplish this? or what else can I do?
If anybody has an idea to correct this, let me know.

alternative bodies for mini
The old Tamiya Honda S800 roadster body originally for the M01 chassis also fits the M03 (but not the M03L). It's a cool looking body, typical Tamiya quality and detail I just happen to have a very small quantity of these bodies, brand new in box, available for sale. $35.00 plus shipping, PM me if you are interested.
