Steel GV Diffs aren't always easy to come by + $$....

It's always good to have other options

Just wondering if there was something else out there other then the obvious Steel GV Diff, etc. I'd suggest that the key factor is ratio availablity. There are lots of possible IFS front diff conbinations - extending to very substantial. Once you find a make that offers the ratio and strength you ...

there is one other option (although i dont know if it will fit or not) but you could have a look at a Kia Sportage they are very close to the same wheel track and the rear diff is supposedly a full floater (i cant confirm or deny this at the moment)the motor if an efi 2lt twin cam (made by mazda ...

There are no commercially available lockers available for Ferozas in Oz. Stick with Vit gear or go for some other donor vehicle which has plenty of aftermarket support. Yeah, not really after lockkas, just want to know if the u can use the 3rd Member + the actual Diff housing off the Feroza..... I ...

Sorry guys if this question has been asked before (I can't find any info). My question is can u use any of the running gear (Front IFS Diff Housing; Diff Centres Rear Diffs, etc) on / in a Vitara?? I see a few install hilux front diffs/CVs etc but I never have seen any mention in regards to Feroza ...

Does anyone know if u can get a Crown Wheel & Pinion > 5.12 ratios?? Like 5.33 or greater -- I u can, do u know from Where ??? rob It's kinda 50/50. Torque through the front end is the problem. A stock car can't put much torque into the front end at all, but as you add traction, and gearing the ...

So I suppose the more you modify (ie add Crawler Gears; Larger Tyres; Diff-locks) the more likely the Alloy Diff is to break or would some of these mods help in the sense that u don't have to drive it as hard ??

Hey all, Just after some advice..... (I've posted this on other forums to get a wide range of advice ;) ) I've came across a couple of posts in AZ where people have broken their front "Alloy" Diffs on their Vitaras and from the Pics that I've seen, they all have seemed to break in a similar spot ...

The XL7 Struts.... What are they like....

Do u have the measurement for the full extension length....

I was going to go with OME Front Struts as I've been told that they have the best/ longest travel of any strut...... but I am curious to see if there is other options....

Hi all..... For those that don't know (myself included) I thought I would start a post here asking for peoples comments in what springs (leafs in particular) from different vehicles can be used on Sierras. I've heard that u can use Suzuki Carry rear Springs for the Front of a Sierra & I think I ...

I've been trialing a few prototype spacers and just thought I would post a few pics here for comments/ideas.....

The difference between OME and Tough Dog struts is chalk and cheese. The Tough Dog extended strut is essentially a standard Gabriel strut with a 3" extension added to the strut. This is good for downward movement but when said and done you only have the standard length of travel. Where as the OME ...

use xl7 struts as the vit ones are to soft make a 65mm spacer for the rear ball joint get some commo shocks and press in your 12mm crush tube in the bottom because they are 10mm need longer break line need 13mm tail shaft spacer for rear I'm using Dobinson xl7 coils in the the rear (free length ...

Hi all, I've got a 93 LWB Vit with King Coils Front & Rear + 40mm spacer in the rear & 20mm n the front.... This worked well in regards to ride & lift (85mm over original). I was looking for better travel in the rear & therefore a longer coil.... Came across Dobinson's XL7 Coils for th rear. Free ...

Hi all..... Has anybody experimented with their Vitara Rear Suspension by installing XL7 Rear coils (w/o any spacers)? From a little research & experimenting, the XL7 coils (Dobinsons H/D) are 390mm -- 60mm longer than Kings Coils. I found there was some slight differences, one being the inside ...

good luck with some sleepless nights in making your decision

thanks for the replies guys. strangely enough i'd asked the same question and Rod replied saying that he hadnt dynoed them yet, but will let me know when he does. unless i've got the dates wrong, and asked him prior to last friday...not sure. hi vit94, genie headers seems like a recognised brand ...

I have the 2 inch lift. It's as simple as this : It doesn't matter what sort of lift you do , if the springs allow compression more than the shocks can give , you need to modify your bump stops. OR raise your upper shock mount... unless you like loosing that extra UP travel... i only real reason ...

:? In the market for an air compressor. ARB is small in size and has 70l / minute flow. This appeals to me but the price is double to 3x that of other brands. Any one got experiance with the new ARB compressors or others. I know cheaper ones will do the job but who wants to wait around for 5mins ...
