[jcianci]

hey all,
the suzuki is off the road for 4 months while i wait for my licence back...does spoa mean leaf spring or coil or both??? also does anyone in australia sell a kit for doing this conversion? also anyone got any mags for sale???

[RB zook]

spoa is spring over application

you couls talk to sam at overkil engerneering if you like he can do the conversion for a reasonable price

or if your handy with a welder go to snake he can supply you with perches and the like

I wonder whether these two things are related?

Ps i reckon if you can't lie under the car and figure out how much work one will be, what might be required, and if you are up to it fabrication wise, I reckon you are not ready for SPOA. Even many "professionally built" spoas need lots of work to get all of the bugs out of them. This is a very major modification and invloves stering system geometry changes and many other factors.

There are much easier ways to get 5" of lift and travel, that might even be slightly less illegal in QLD. - i.e ome springs, 35mm over stock shackles and a 2" body lift will be the same height as a low SPOA ( the only kind) and far more stable and "stock" looking, not to mention less work and with no driveline steering brake or other non bolt on mods.

I reckon if you need to have something explained to you as to what it is then you probably don't need it jus yet. Research a bit more about firstly what it actually is. Secondly why you feel you need it (not just because so and so has it or you reckon it is cool) thirdly is it legal or if legality is an issue to you
