have two inch lift want four any thing to look out for eg rear ball joint brake lines (all ready to short ) maker of good springs, shocks all right just to long springs fall out at full travel :oops:

would also like to fit 12.5/35 's or 305/85/16 i have 16 by 8 inch rims alloys at this point in time and what are your thoughts on simex jt's would the bigger tyres fit car has flares and wheels fill them out well :D a little rub is ok just an other talking point with mates

i have just done the 2 inch body lift and flares (already had 2"spring) and i am running 35 x 10.5 pedes and they only scrub out on the body occasionally.

only catch is that it makes your turning circle the size of a footy field.

Bassyk, what revs is the 308 doing at 100k's ? Are you running stock ratio's etc.?

running the 35's stock ratios and turbo 400 auto it revs at about 2500 - 3000 RPM , im not 100% because the speedo doesnt work properly.

i want to get 4.11 or higher later down the track to give me back some take off and 1st low is a bit too quick for going down steep hills
