extreme fix is to do a sas conversion....the next step is to get top plates made for the struts with slots in like the drift boys do to there skylines and laurels etc
Waiter...there is a drought in my glass.

I found on mine that the knuckle was hitting on the strut so I had to file part of the knuckle away. -1º is around the minimum allowable on a Vitara, watch your cv's with that much lift.

Yes, standard control arms.

Just realised I got the camber wrong in my last post. It's actually +1 degree minimum (or maximum).

Aftermarket control arms will help alot if you have a 3" lift on standard arms as they are made to suit the lift and will correct the camber. :wink:
