Dremel the shock mount where it sits on the gearbox by 4mm and then re-drill the two fixing holes above the original holes where needed.

Just make sure the drive shaft bones sit in the diff output's when at full droop and all will be good, you would have to seriously do something wrong with the shock mount for them to come out anyway

Here's mine and as you can see the original fixing holes are half cut away :

other than more droop whats the advantage?

I did it at stotfold earlier in the year during testing as i thought we needed more droop on the rear end. For me droop was the main motivation, but i felt it gave more forward traction and better side bite due to more shock travel.

It made my car feel planted over the rutted bumpy sections, that's 90% of my local track so it was a worthwhile mod for me

cheers Simon, would you run at worksop indoors? and would fitting the longer ball cups have the same effect?

do you drill the new screw holes 4mm from the centre of the old holes ?
you pic looks a lot more then 4mm
