Hey guys, yes i have tried to search :/ I saw a while back there was a thread that everyone was putting into and meauring there Zook lift hights ? I was wondering if anyone know where it is and could chuck me a link  Reason i want to know, is ive parked next to so Stock zooks lately, and with 2" body/sus and 3 - 5" bigger tyres (1.5 - 2.5" taller then stock) it just doesnt seem that much higher then the other cars. I know atari's swb was in it Cheers sam |

cheers man, found it, but its saying the stock eyebrow height is: ~Stock~ Front: 400mm Rear: 420mm ~My 2"body + 2" sus ~ Front: 500mm Rear: 540mm My springs were only 30mm i think, so it seems to have lifted more then it was ment to? Anyyyy way.. Mate just checked with same car. ~Mates~ Front: 550mm Rear: 570mm he has 2" body and sus to... so seems like my springs have sagged heaps. ANYWAY, Im looking for 3" sus. Do calmini sell the springs by them selfs??? Jimny bits dont sell there 3" any more.... Pm'd dank, he hasnt replied yet |

you're 100mm over standard & i guess you mate can't measure or hasn't measured it the same FYI 4" = 100mm you'll have to be crafty to get springs out of calmini without proof that you're currently running their kit.

but my springs where only 30mm im pretty sure, so stock must be higher then stated in that PDF? im gonna take a tape measure to the mall tomorrow and find a stock vit Any other places that sell 3" springs?? might have to just get some coil spacers.. |

so you've got even more lift than what's advertised, what's the problem  you've said yourself that you have got money to burn, just by the whole calmini kit & be done with it. |

Calmini will sell their springs seperately, as will LROR. I mentioned that I was running their kit in the e-mail, but nothing says you couldn't do the same. What are you going to do about all the little compensations that the full kit provides - longer/different control arms, heim joint, blah blah blah... not all of it is available off the shelf like diff-drops. Are your shocks and struts long enough to cope with the extra travel? |

i don't know, just trying to work out how you've got more lift than him when it's apparently the same lift & set up. do you have a ARB front bar? have you even wheeled yours at all since being lifted? new springs will settle a bit after being worked for the first time. what brand of springs, same part numbers? |
