your thoughts on using the calmini 3" complete suspenion system and 3" bodylift kit for a 93 vit?
this is my first four wheel drive and am looking to do a lilttle bit of 4wdriving and want to put 31's on my ride. i priced the two kits together to be around 2500 including tyres....would tis be an ok package for a starter? and how much do you think installation would cos? anybody know a cheap place around sydney?
thanx

I have the Calmini 3" lift on my Vit.
I think it is worth the money for what you get.
But it's not a straight bolt on kit, you have to make mods and fine tuning to fit the suspension lift.
I don't have a body lift and by what I have been told there are a lot better one's you can buy.
I would try to install the kit yourself and save a few dollars.
There would be a good 4+hours install on the kit, plus any mods and wheel alignment.
So add it all up to have someone install it.

Don't get the 3" body lift, its box section (2") + 1" alloy block. definately not worth the money and looks ugly.
3" suspension lift is good but you might find the springs will initially be to hard. I didn't end up having any of the issues that auzukiboy had, but even though every car is made the same, they are all different!!! apart from that, can't fault the kit, have been running it for a fair while now 1.5 years+ and no problems.
take your time with the install, make sure you don't forget anything, grease/loctite everything.
