There's a lot of fabrication work in those fenders, but hey — go for it.
some lift isn't bad, it will unload my tires.
last sunday i cornered at a speed of 60 km/h without problem and the car only weights 70 kg, the rules allow a max weight of 170kg car for my age.
So, when the soapbox is finished i will put ballasts in it to reach the 170 kg.
if the car has some lift, it will weight more than 70 kg (actual weight) and have better grip than now, even with lift.

sorry for my English
