Something seriously wrong here Warrior. I'm sure you're measuring it on a flat level surface... Are the front springs the same length sitting on the floor, ie not mounted onto shocks? Is the lower spring plate on the high side shock fitted fully? Are the Shocks the same length- and similar pressure?

I think it's a good idea to buy an affordable gearbox that fits with the minimum modification, T56 are rated for fitment to mass produced cars based on GVM (weight of vehicle), as such they have to be rated for strength and longevity. I'm sure the holden box is strong enough for a 1000-1200 kg car, ...

Everything was modified/fabricated by me except for some machining, fabrication of the firewall and engine bay painting :) The tyres are standard size- I insist on this for 2 reasons: 1- The car looks totally standard, even MX5 car club members and Mazda dealers cannot pick it as having been modifie...
