Where can I get one? Just went for a night 4by sesh in the Vitara, noticed the ass end swaying a bit and rattling.. Had a look under and the shock bushes are gone ! D: Wondering where I could get a full bush kit, or what are the best replacements for a 2" lift kit. :)

Cheers fellas.

i'm right in thinking you're new vit is running the 2" calmini kit?

the rear uses the standard lower arms & upper A frame & ball joint. the front has replacement arms.

you can get the bushes for the front end from Lowrange Offroad.

not sure where to chase up shock bushes, are the lower ones gone?

Cheers Atari, but is there anywhere in the means of repco/stupidcheap/autofarm that i'd be able to pick one up tomorrow? or am I fair out of luck? Need my car to get to work. :( Need my car for me too... The rear end has a Calmini A frame in the rear as well as Lower arms and ball joint. They're all blue anyway :) I love the blue bits. :) and yes, the upper and lower shock bushes are crumbly pieces of snot glued to the eye. There is no upper bush to be seen 8O

Timbo - How long did it take to get through to them? And how long did it take to arrive? I've sent them an email a day or two ago, along with 4wdUSA. But I've heard that Calmini can take bloody ages to reply..
