hey. hows it going.
just saw your website, you mentioned you were using vitara coils up the back of your sammy, are these standard vitara coils, or are they lifted ones?
thanks

standard swb vitara, not sure exactly how much lift they give, they make the standard shocks at full extension...static unladen
i've got some other unknown spring on the rhs now just to level it up a bit.
i had free reign in the wreckers spring collection.....
oh and the RS9119's might get swapped with 9120's as the 19's are too long [bring on the wooden bumpstops

castor correction bushes suck
they are too stiff - get the original bushes from suzuki they don't limit the flex. you can slot your diff mounts to give yaself castor
i drilled all my bushes to make em softer - maybe that's why the arm has never bent
