Calmini Lift kits - Is this a steal?

Post by buried »

Hey all, I have been looking for a lift kit for my ubs55 bighorn.

Came across this on trademe, seems like a steal to me - opinions?

Thanks

about the same price as the manufacturer, bu without the cost of delivery from US, i think its a good deal.

I don't think it's worth buying, calmini shocks are rubbish and will shit themselves, you could just wind up the standard torsions (not too much, will ruin sus. travel and eat c.v's) and get a welder to knock up a pair of shackles and job done.

Yeah I had a poke around the US site.

Thanks Zuk, thats what I was after. Thought the brand was reputable? but having never tried wanted opinions of people who have expirence/know what the quality is like. Have been quoted over 400 for torsions alone.

Not wanting huge lift, just enough to squeeze some 33's under there so maybe 1-1.5" from suspension and 2" body lift and we're away to destroy some CV's.... which are clicking already lol.
