I posted in your post in the nissan section, but i will Tonka it here.

Basically, a bit more info, as sic lux indicated, is needed. What kind of link setup do you want. What lift height do you want. What is the rig used for, rock crawling, dune running (in a 2.8D bwahhahaha) general trails, mud bashing. What do you want coils for? How much of the work can you do yourself.

Bit more info would enable everyone to give you beter answers, as your questions as it stands is pretty broad.

Also try the search function, plenty of people have converted lux's to coils. Also, if your not intending on doing the work yourself, have a talk to some of the fab shops that frequent the board.

Central Coast moved to QLD has it? Have something to with the QLD DOT? NSW is very different. Chunderliicous is wrong or has not asked the right questions to the people that really know!

No, WICKED i am wrong, i have been in contact with phill, and it can be done legally. but the point i was getting at is that for the price i was talking doesnt include an engineer or anything of those sorts, just the work.

queensland laws have changed, anything is possible if you talk to someone willing to go through it. and most important do good work.

All I can Say is you get what you pay for.
I reckon fully engineered not much change out of $5000.
Rear a bit less.
Note this is for coil conversion not leaf.
If you can get a conversion done for $2000 and able to get engineered send them dowm here.I'll have em and we both make money :P

I hope they supply there own parts.

hales, they supply there own parts ill link it up and make links (get them made) for 1000 an end easy. and its been comp proven too :armsup: but i wouldnt charge that for it if it was my sole income. 3G an end all finished on road would be getting close to the price, but for just building it for someone 2G is right.

all brackets are 6mm plate atleast with 9mm lower link wall thickness strongbacked and 6mm upper. it dont cost that much at all when doing it for mates.
