What kind of ground clearance do you guys have on your cars? I'm at about 4" clearance up front which is a full inch lower than the front lips on my other cars and worried about smashing my radiator. Also worried about mounting my 9 lives racing front wing with that ground clearance.

Very nice shovel you have. What springs are you running up front? Looks different than what df sent me. Seems like you have a progressive spring? I got linear springs on mine. 400lbs up front and 300lb in rear.Yep. 4” is about right. Much lower with 2 people in the car. Under very hard braking, I have skid my splitter a couple of times, but I had a good size passenger riding in those instances. A splitter/front wing makes for a good road grater or shovel too

Correct. I changed the spring to 225/475 up front. Which I also use 1” longer shock too, the QA1 DS403. This makes for a much more comfortable street ride. You can jamb these springs on the shock Df sent you, but it’s a pain. I would recommend running stock and upgrade later if feel you need to.

Oh, don't mount that before getting your Goblin registered. They will immediately call it a dune buggy!

Haha I just got it registered today actually. No inspection needed didn't even need to get it weighed. Just took my manufacturer certificate and paid sales tax on the invoice and they gave me plates and registration. Washington State is pretty nice sometimes.Oh, don't mount that before getting your Goblin registered. They will immediately call it a dune buggy!

Bead roller is $80 on ebay.
If your pipes pop off under boost it's a good investment - or find someone local who has one - takes about 20 minutes for 2 people to bead both ends of the charge pipes with the one I have in the picture. One person turns the crank, the other firmly guides the pipe through its rotations. Just did @Amack1970 charge pipes this past weekend.

That's a neat tool. I seem to have fixed the charge pipe popping off issue but I'll invest in one if it keeps happening.
Tomorrow im planning on taking the car to autocross, hopefully the car stays together and I can get some good laps in. Had to pick up some arm restraints last minute to meet their safety equipment requirements.
