Just received an email confirming that Calmini will be releasing a new line of Suspension Lift Kit for the "Sport" 1.8L, 2.0L Vitara's.

This means those who own the sv420 (myself and a few others) and are looking for Lift kits.
Will no longer have to look no further.

They are expecting to release later on in this year!

I know its not the best kit but, i'm told its the best bang for buck!

:woohoo:

*fingers crossed all goes to plan!*

lol, don't hold your breath considering they've had that info for 8 years & the only thing that didn't fit on the original kit was the diff drops.

But a Kit specifically designed for the SV420 is great!
Which means springs could possibly be better and struts.
Rather than using the 1.6 kit which is designed to carry a apply to a different weight

What is the difference in sprung weight between the 416 and 420 vits? It is much more than a carton of beer in the boot's worth of difference?

lol this is calamari we're talking about... the struts will be junk, they'll still bind the coils to limit up travel, the rear of all SV's are identical to a SE & it's only the weight of the motor that requires the GV front springs.

Too True

But it is a good place to start! Then you start chucking in commodore shocks, bumpstop extension and GV coils! <== See Atari I learnt how to use Search!

Sv20 arms have integral ball joints. You need to buy 1.6 ball joints and fit them to the Calmini arms.
