Hey Guys,

Just got some questions about shocks and what not as mine are due to be changed.

I currently have King Springs in the Vit and I im not to sure what brand the shocks are.
Im willing to pay upto 1K for the replacement and was thinking of getting some OME Front struts and another well known brand for the rear.
Is it possible to get the lift upto 2-3 inches with these shocks and the King springs or would I have to replace the springs/add coil spacers.

Im open to all comments as im not really to famillar at this stage about mods and what not.

Thanks
Rob

If you want 3inc lift, get 3inc spring's..

Spacer's are a waist of time & money, I have them in my gv & wish i never touched em, but now that the strutt's I have are to friggin long for 2inc spring's I cant take em out till I get new strutt's. :evil:

That's my $1.20 :roll:

Hey guys,

would dobinson xl7 coils for front and rear be a good setup with ome struts and rancho 9000xl for the rear. If so would I have to do many mods to the car?

Thanks
Rob

I've been thinking a set of these would be the go.

I've got a set of standard XL7's in atm (with a spacer).

If anyone has tried them I'd be keen to know how they went.

anyone know if the Rancho 9000XL's fit the vit or is it only the 9000X's that fit.

yeah thanks. I've got an idea of what to choose but I just need a few more questions answered. So far I'm going for OME Front Struts with king springs and spacers and either the Rancho 9000XL's or 9000X's with king springs and spacers in the rear.

Is it worth doing a strut mount flip with ome struts?
