The 3OTT can be fun from a nostalgic point of view, but it can become a little cumbersome and clunky for more convenient everyday driving. I'd choose a 200-4r, personally. I like the ratios better than the 700r4 and with even a healthy six it'll last a long, long time. That's a reversible mod to me. Heck, I wouldn't even lower that thing, as the stance really speaks to its original period. Gotta admit, though, that a mild drop with lowering coils is pretty darned reversible. Then... Drive the heck out of that thing!
Yes I'm going to stay with true reversible items. That 3oot is getting old too. Fun at first for about 50 miles then it gets old. Lol. Mild drop is good for me on this one.
