As seen here: http://puresuzuki.com/adjustable_arms.htmBrand new still. They were fitted to the car but it has never moved an inch with them on. Have decided to go with another setup so no longer need them. $180 plus postage (which being in Aus already should be substantially cheaper than LROR/Calmini).

Hopefully the altered ego trailing arm kit instead.... if they ever bloody respond to my email. The calmini arms are nice but they don't quite go long enough for my liking (are the GV SWB trailing arms shorter maybe?). The main reason though is I don't want adjustable ones anymore, have decided they are a bit too noticeable for my liking.
PS: Make a thread on the new ride already. I need some reading material to keep me entertained at work.

yeah it would be good to push the wheel base out as much as possible... can you adjust them whilst driving?

Well took one of the arms off to measure it just to find I didn't have it adjusted anywhere near as much as I thought I had. So sorry all have decided to hang on to them for the time being until I can double check tyre clearances with both sides adjusted. Took some measurements anyway in case it helps anyone else: Metal sleeve ID: 12mm Mounting width = 67mm Minimum length of arm (eye to eye) = 455mm Maximum 'workable' distance of arm (eye to eye) = 480mm It measures 495mm eye to eye with it only just threaded on, so maximum workable length depends on how little thread you think is a safe amount. Looking at it I'd like to keep 15mm personally, hence the 480mm measurement above. Standard GV trailing arm measures 470mm eye to eye.

wonder what stock vit arms measure at, GV's could be an easy upgrade if they're longer.

That's what I've been thinking, hence the interest.
Stock 1.6 arms are about 468mm centre to centre, 12mm sleeve and 67mm width.
So it's only be about an extra 12mm before you get sketchy. Worth checking out if someone wouldn't suddenly see the value of them!!!
