If the consumer (you & I) would have to buy a kit and make massive amounts of changes to the front and rear end of the car, just to achieve the proper ride height …………. then I would consider this a base engineering design flaw.

As an engineer myself, I just can’t see spending money for a kit that inherently needs to be placed through a metamorphoses of changes just to make it compete.

I would recommend visiting your local track and evaluating the availability of parts, setup support, and eventually cost for the components, then hopefully you could make an educated opinion as to what is best for your situation.

Best Regards to your future endeavor in 1/12 Scale.
