You really only need to lower the front diff on a vitara/escudo if you're going over about two inches suspension lift. It's not too hard, but you need to get good bracketry made up accurately.

Yeah I had to do it to the scud after its 3" suspension lift. Took it to our engineer at work, told him what I had to do. He had the Calmini Brackets modified within a couple of hours and they fitted perfectly. Havn't had an issue with CV's since.

im getting some lowering brackets from the uk.
i couldnt get calmini brackets seperate so my sister is bringing them with her in a week or so and reece @ de-ranged engineering is going to make something similar when they get here, so might be worth getting in touch with him in a few weeks.
his name on here is DE-RANGED if you want to pm him??

Its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

Me too, if I ever get the daughter's trucks finished so I can start on my own.

Hell Weemsy, between you and De-Ranged you're going to have the 'Zuk after-market sown up by the end of the year.

I can just see it, I'm going to be broke forever!!
