from a thread last week, you cant modify a chassis any closer than 200mm to a suspension point.

I cut mine up to the spring hanger on the lux and the engineer didn't see a problem with since it was braced much better than any lux came out.

the engineer im using told me that my chassis wasnt allowed to end before the back edge of my tyre, so id say go check with your engineer first and see what he says,

i havnt cut mine, b ut i have moved my diff back, so i left about 50mm or there abouts,
