A guy in the states are making a new lift kit for vits with fox air coilovers

I'm liking the idea after a lot of bracing to the towers
his testing a new one that uses gv cv

Looks pretty simple to me. Just a new top and bottom bracket.

But I'm wondering what the main advantage is? Travel is still going to be limited by the CV's is it not?

I need a kit as my engineer doest like custom arms.can't see the difference if its made by a proper welder
I'm looking at going to a longer cv and bonous of moving wheel forward
Also looking at droping the diff and arm mounts down 3" so arms and cv sits level at ride height. I'm more interested in down travel and belly height then front diff clearence.skid plates fix that
Do u think a sierra cromo cv would be stroger then a ifs lux cv
i don't like how the lux stub sticks out so far

Heaps want them but none are prepared to fork out for them. All the parts u need alone add up not to mention the big guys labour. Just limit travel and smash a locker in. Is it bigger tyres combined with lift that kill them?

The problem with doing hilux CV's on the 1.6 is that you HAVE to do the hagen mod. The SV's area plug and play scenario.

i have the hagen mod but it sucks as the coil dosnt sit right hence my lower coil spacers
I'm droping the front end 2-3" so i will be need longer arms to fit the cv

highly doubt that fatz will even come close to making his money back on the R&D for such a small production run of one off control arms.

see if these turkey's will sell their arms separately http://www.4xfourart.com/eng_vitara.asp
