My rears fall off if I don't hold them in place,
so I'm guessing you have the wrong ones.
But sounds like you made them fit in the good zook way

Front is always a little tight where it seats,
rust, damage and time warp things a bit.

May be easier to dremel vit rather than the spacer.

I run 25mm front and 50mm rear.
I compensated for lost travel
with shock relocation brackets and a strut flip.
Bumpstop extensions of 40mm or so.
With drop diff brackets up front,
ball joint spacer in the rear.
Steering compensation is camber bolts and caster bushes (offset)

Got mine from Bruce

I got mine of ebay. i run 15 front and used to run 30 in the back but i got longer springs so i don't run a spacer in the back now to keep it level

[shandy92]

ok cool, i get minor scrubbing with 31's 2" sus + 2" body. will 15mm and 30mm spacers help? or should i go 25/50mm?

christover- i got pretty much all the extra stuff besides diff drop brackets but should have them soon.

cheers

I ran 15 / 30 for quite a while, with no serious scrubbing.
I went to 25/50 because shock relocation brackets made my springs a bit loose at full droop.
Still having the minor scrubbings, but suspension works better.
I adjusted my steering stops, to help cv's avoid full turns risks.
Only get a bit of rubber to plastic contact now

[shandy92]

ok thanks christover, mate any chance you could do this? ( http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... 1&start=60 ) will give me a better idea on how high urs is.

cheers

[christover1]

1100mm to bottom of the handle, not the surrounds bit.

rear width 1700mm

Will put it in the thread too

i think it should be to the surround, that what mine is done by and by the look of it so did the others. yours is a fair bit taller than atari's??

Hey Ninja, what part of the door handle did you measure to?

I went to the bottom edge of the handle itself dude (the bit that lifts up) as I figured that'd be more inline with sierras/LJs.

Yours certainly looks taller than mine still in photos, so I'm guessing you measured to the bottom edge of the handle insert?

[shandy92]

ok i need to go re measure mine then. thought mine seemed low

[christover1]

that would make mine about 1080mm ish then, roughly

[shandy92]

ok well mine is 1020. dont worry chris, i was wrong as atari said

[christover1]

I nearly wrote 1010 insteads of 1100,
easy nuff to read cm as mm

Maybe ya at 1200mm

Thanks Alex, I'll give the flap disk a run.
Shandy92 - I got them from http://www.extremelimitsoffroad.com.au/prod61.htm
Won't say that the product is not right, cos I am a mechanical window licker, but mine is a 10-95 model.

The ones pictured on that site are the correct ones for a 95 Vitara.

All sorted. I stand corrected, front ones went in fine, took me a while to notice the little locating tab inside the outer housing that you have to dodge. I did have to drop the A frames (had read in search results that you can get away without it) and now have a ball joint splitter in the shed, so all is good. Thanks for your help.
