Re: My 12 K build
What makes the 12k chassis sit up so much higher than a standard M998? I know springs are different and control arms. Is the control arms mounted lower on chassis?

Re: My 12 K build
Most m998s have tired springs and sag more than an inch. When compared to the heavier new springs, there is quite a difference. Change a m998 front springs to the winch model and you'll notice a big difference. Change the rear perches to cast and install variable rate springs and you'll notice a big difference.
Back to Gregs build....looks good Greg. I'm going to start my rev frame soon.

Re: My 12 K build
Don't want to hijack this thread but I have posted it here as it relates to one of the pictures posted by Greg, nice work BTW.
I am after 8 high quality jack stands similar as shown in one of Greg's pics being pic number 4 before the carc paint pic, jack stands with come base and pin, would prefer pin set up over rack/pinion system, cost is not important after quality units.
Does anyone have any links to those types of stands as used?
Thank you
