i dont think its really what im looking for anyway, just got tempted if i could get it cheap as want a manifold quickly.
i'm just going to wait until i can afford a new janspeed 4-2-1

Mine is dropped 70mm at the front and it doesn't catch unless it's them speed bumps that you drive over. Them ones that are just in the middle of the road.

dont get that manifoold........
you will ahve the same problems mine did, as the lambda is only reading off cyl 3 it will make your car drink fuel like no tomorrow, and have flat spots.. and i had mine lowered by 60mm or 80mm front and back and it never had a clearance issue.....
