Hey guys, Iv got an 84 MK SWB... iv gotten a few quotes to get a 2" suspension lift done. they are about $500 dif between each...
Whats peoples opinion on a cheaper option like Old Man Emu set up?
Are they a good brand and have you herd good or bad things about them?
Thanks,
juan.

Look at spending $1200 plus for the kit in total. I made the mistake of spending $1000 and got a real crap kit. There is a big difference for the extra cash in the way it rides.

iv been quoted around the $2,000 mark for old man emu set up. inc shocks, leaf springs, new bushs, steering dampner and labour... is that expensive for this kind of modification?

i would put the bad fuel econmy down to tuning/motor more than the lift / geometry on my car

yeah larg tyres will have an affect on petty consumption but you dont buy a vehice like this if your worried about fuel $$$. sorry to get off track.
was thinking i will just get the rubber i want and see whats needed to fit it in. many people fitted 3/4 eliptic on the rear of these how much difference did it make and did you pin the top leaf to the chassis while on road?
