Not odd at all. The yanks love bolting shit through the rails. Most sliders (nerf bars
) are mounted this way.Its not the prefered method over here though.

I'm keen to give it a go when it's available, radius arms can flex good if set up properly.... |

pretty sure BlueSuzy had to change from that style of radius arm to a 3 link front end to keep his engineer happy in nsw |

I can't see that flexing all that well. Maybe I'm wrong and they'll be using some uber-trick bushes, but all up, it's a nothing special radius arm suspension. You might be able to get the front to work with your LWB, but I can't really see the point unless you're mad for blue powdercoating and oversized holes. Might be LHD/RHD issues too. Steve. |

Does it sit below the chassis rails and bolt over the top or through ? |

Bolts through the rails if I'm seeing the drawings right. |

The Yanks are dodgy sea hunts. That's quite a loss of ground clearance, at least you get a skid plate though. |

Great idea raise the car by 5 in but then drop a skid plate 3in below the frame That makes heaps of sense |

Let's be honest, it's not just lazy yanks that would like an easy to fit coil conversion for a Sierra. Steve. |

I got a email back from calmini. Sir- Thank you for your interest in the CALMINI Suzuki line. Initially, the system will only be available for LHD models. Based on interest, we could develop a RHD model system. The front system will work on the standard wheelbase and also the LWB system. The rear system will be for the standard wheelbase only. Please watch the website for updates. As we announced, the system will be released for shipping this Spring: So it is doubtful that this will ever be suitable for RHD which is a shame as a comercal kit is much easier to get approved then one off stuff. Calmini vitara control arms have been approved for road use in the NT. |
