-60mm on a rally carlol thats far too low even for pure tarmac, the shocks won't have enough travel to be working properly.

Is there a noise limit of 99bd at 4000rpm in ireland??

Which class will you be in with a 1.2?

yeah id do some research before you start, im sure -60mm on billies will be way too low to handle properly on a stage. Ive done quite a lot of rallying myself and havent seen too many 'slammed' novas competing.

class 1 with a 1.2 id imagine.
