You could also consider doing the seat fix I posted someplace on this site – lowered my sitting high about 3-4″and much more comfortable ( No more DBS )

I’d mock it up and see how it looks first, for sure.Then, after deciding how it looks with six inches more windscreen, lower your seat.

Just sayin’: the vw kit I drive turned in better autoX times than did four(?) miatas and a Suby WRX. And that’s with 45 horsepower. And stock suspension.So how sporty are you looking to be?

Jack it up till the wheel is off the ground. Place a pry bar under the tire and lift. Check for excessive movement in the joint.
