Coil conversion
Been thinking about lifting the Suzuki and was wondering, is it worth having a coil conversion or just sticking with leaf springs?

Re: Cool conversion
Offroad only then converting to coils is the way to go. Want to do it properly and 100% legally then an IVA test is needed unless you can make it 100% bolt on and to make a set up like that it won't be easy.

Re: Cool conversion
I don't think they ever released the vit sas swap let alone a bolt on SJ coil kit, also bare in mind you would need to modify it anyway as I doubt they would make it RHD.Rhinoman wrote:Calmini?
Only bolt on coil kit I've seen is by zanfii in Italy and its stupid money.
Re: Coil conversion
They released it today, but they've only posted a pic of the front half and that's $1500 so its going to be way more than a YJ conversion.

Re: Coil conversion
Have you got a link? Is it designed for LHD vehicles or both?
At that price after shipping, tax and duty I think you could almost do a proper coil conversion and pay for an IVA if you can weld and fabricate that is.
I did my YJ conversion for under £200

Re: Coil conversion
So what would you say the cheapest way to get a 3" lift was then? I don't want to spend crazy money.
