Lower center of gravity, for better handling, the lower the mass of weight to the ground the better it will handle.

This is true, however, I'm not sure you would feel that much of a noticeable difference from a 1/4" drop. Is it better, yes, are you going to feel a difference in the seat of your pants....probably not. Besides the handling aspect, we wanted to give guys a little more room up top too. Firewall clearance, strut bar clearance, hood clearance.....sometimes an extra 1/4" is all you need!!!

Yeah, I was pushing pretty hard to get us there this year, but just didn't have enough time to get things ready. Besides, our shop car is torn apart in 1000 pieces right now!!! I even offered to take my own car as the BMR display vehicle, but just not enough time to get prepped and ready. Hopefully, depending on the location of next year's Fest, we'll be there!!!

My reason for this is I have hood clearance issues.

Yes, they can be disassembled....(which means rebuildable too, if necessary). And Yes, we can make a "bare" set.....$15 cheaper.
