I can get a stinking good deal on a 2" Calmini kit for the 89-98 trucks. I'm wondering if the control arms from this kit would fit onto my '00 Vitara? ???

I'm thinking they are different, samuraidan. 1st gens were longer and 2nd gens shorter... because of a slight difference in frame width (hence the Sidekick Sport with fewer aftermarket parts) but then if it is really a "stinking good deal" then buy them and try them and if they don't work pass on your stinking good deal to someone else with a 1st gen truck. All it will take is your time, some elbow grease and maybe a replacement bolt or two. Or.... maybe they are close enough that you could mod them with some custom cutting and welding?

I've never measured it, but, I always thought it was the other way around - the second gen's are not just a wider frame, the entire vehicle is wider.

Yes, what Fordem said. I meant a wider frame on the 2nd gen trucks.

Thanks for the responses guys. I thought it would be a long shot but it was worth asking. I think I'll pass on the lift kit this time; I'm busy enough with my upcoming body lift instal.
It's too bad Calmini (or anyone for that matter) doesnt sell the control arms separately.
