Just wondering if the Calmini Kit for the SWB Vit's are interchangable with the LWB Kits

I'm quite sure they are, after all they're the same chassis, just shorter.

yeas, the SWB has 2 less fixed body studs = 2 less blocks & 2 less female bolts

Only thing to bear in mind of course is the bit of extra weight on the rear springs, may ride a touch lower.

just replace all the glass with polycarbonate, should lighten it up a tad

It would be nice.

I've found the springs on the back bottom out when fully loaded on my LWB.

Other than the weight factor, there's no difference.

when fitted to a SWB, the rear usually sits higher than the front, chop's LWB sits pretty level.

i permanently carry a box of tools/recoverygear/spares to add a bit of weight over the back axle to get some ride comfort back... probably 50kg, i don't run rear seats & it still sits a little high in the rear.
