I have just installed a 3" Calmini lift kit on my Terrano and am very pleased with the results. Craig at Genie 4x4 hooked me up with the kit.
The kit consists of new UCA's, Torsion bars, shocks, and Ball joints for the front, and at the rear, longer springs, shocks and a bracket to lower the panhard rod.
Installation went very smoothly, with the front end taking about 6hrs all up and the rear about 3hrs, most of that drinking coffee. I also replaced the bushes at the rear with Nolathane so that took a bit longer, as I had to take the rods upto the local garage to get the old bushes pressed out. No way those suckers were coming out any other way.
If anyone else is thinking of giving their Terrano a bit of a lift, this is a good way to go, and having Genie deal with all the red tape to get the kit over from the US saves you alot of hassle, and there wouldn't be alot in it cost wise, by the time you pay all the freight, customs, etc. No, he isn't paying me to say this, although if you read this Craig...
Looking forward to getting the old girl out and dirty this weekend, and the Terrano as well...
