Title: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: cablesmurf on September 22, 2006, 11:29:38 AM: My God, Calmini is slow. It took 5 weeks for this to get here!

I started ripping it apart last night, and already I'm having problems! I broke one rear control arm bolt, and 2 others are stuck in the bushings...I'm gonna have to cut them out.

That's all for now, I'll report more later.

(the smurf blue looks good, fresh new parts always do)

Post by: Bobzooki on September 22, 2006, 12:52:18 PM: This is typical for Calmini. I've waited MONTHS for some of their stuff.

Post by: Yoak on September 22, 2006, 05:25:54 PM: I just cancelled my body lift order with them ordered it 3 weeks ago and was assured it would be shipped that week....after 5-6 calls I have given up.

MaskterKit1 now has my order for a 3" Body Lift.

Post by: PSYKOCHI on September 22, 2006, 06:09:44 PM: Just be patient -- I ordered their 4140 axles from them and had the axles in less than 2 weeks. They have a good product and it is worth the wait.

Post by: kirknd4spd on September 22, 2006, 09:32:59 PM: i ordered my 3" suspension lift and complete exhaust system from them at the same time, and got both 11 days later.
Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: ZeusZuki on September 23, 2006, 10:48:58 AM: I generally get my orders within 2-3 weeks. And I live in New Zealand :o

The product is worth the wait for sure.

Not to mention some vendors not even coming to the party full stop ???

Post by: cablesmurf on September 23, 2006, 10:14:42 PM: Got a little done on the Trac today...Day'um it's big! I had a TJ with 6" of lift on 35's in my garage which fit fine, and the tracker may not come out without airing down. :P

It should settle with a bit of driving and the new bumpers. (I hope) :P

Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: cablesmurf on September 23, 2006, 10:33:10 PM: Ya, after looking at the pics, I may pick up some spidertrax 1" wheel spacers.
Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: Carnage on September 23, 2006, 11:14:39 PM: its really starting to look good
Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: JayN on September 24, 2006, 12:18:52 AM: does look tippy, how much body lift? hard to see it.
what size is the rubber?
hows the angle on the cv's with the spacers ad sprigs?
Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: cablesmurf on September 24, 2006, 07:18:53 AM: Calmini 6" combo + 1" spacers. The front isn't done yet, so I can't tell you about CV angles. I'm sure it''ll come down an inch or two with the new bumpers.

Tires are 32x11.50R15 SSR's (they measure the same height as my buddy's 33" LTB's).

Rims are 15x8 w/ 3 3/4 BS

Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: cablesmurf on September 26, 2006, 10:19:41 PM: Thanks for the compliments guys...

I got the one side mostly finished. It's kinda slow going by myself. It should be done by thursday night. Friday I will be spraying the rockers if all go well.

Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: suzukiboyoz on October 01, 2006, 02:05:26 AM: How do you guys get away with so much lift????
We are only allowed 2" suspension lift with a 1" body lift and 50mm max larger tyres.
Not to mention trying to get insurance. (http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d136/suzukiboyoz/kicknuts.gif)
Title: Re: OMG! Look what finally came!
Post by: lowrezolution on October 01, 2006, 05:57:51 AM: Here in Canada I believe the max body lift is 3", suspension is unlimited but bumper height becomes an issue at some point (i think?-lol) and as for tires as long as it's stamped as DOT on the side wall 44" or 47" is okay? If I'm wrong there guys chip in and correct me.

As for insurance (ie legislated robberyÃ‚Â ;) ) well, hhmm, I did all the mods after the insurance inspection sssooooo what they don't know won't hurt them I guess, unless my ins. agent stops beside me at the lights!!!Ã‚Â Ã‚Â ;D
