Calmini is less...
« on: January 07, 2005, 01:01:39 PM »
cheap for nissan guys than suzuki guys???

Or nissan guys is less cheap than suzuki guys  :P

I found this on a Xterra forum:

CALMINI Xterra/Frontier SAS Kit


Options to this kit will be:
1) Front Coil-Over Shocks,(Fox,SAW,Bilstein,King)
2) Optional Front Sway Bar,
3) Rear Leaf Spring pack for both Xterra & Frontier,
4) Front CV Driveline.

Not included in the kit is the donor axle. The axle used in this kit is a D44 from a 1980-1985 Jeep Waggoneer w/drivers side drop diff and no vacuum disconnect. I know of nothing else that will work.

What do you think?

Looks like a very well designed kit.   :)

Diffferance is MORE Nissan guy will drop the coin.  

Check out the bumpers for the Xterra, Much more to offer, then Suzuki but super $$$.

With minor spring tower / frame mods and major crossmember adjustment this kit would work on a Kick.

Definatly on slick set up.  Very similar to what I had in mind for an XL-7

That reminds me a few months ago a saw an article in a 4x4 mag (can't remember which), but it was a test for a Calmini equiped solid axle converted Nissan.  It was for the Pathfinder, not the X-Terra.
Wish they would put more effort in to the Kick/Tracks... ???

Amazing.  CALMINI all but created the Sidekick aftermarket off-road industry.  Now, they don't put forth any effort?  You need to go through and read the SAS thread where everyone decided they would rather build their own SAS kit out of miscellanous parts from a junkyard for $105.72.  You won't see this for the Zuks, because no one will step up for it.    Look at what that X is capable of doing now .

Overall Nissan guys are less cheap than Suzuki Guys. That is why you will see a completed X-Tera SAS form them before a Kick SAS. Not to mention the Nissan is a NEW vehicle with sales well above Suzuki Sells. I would bet that the X boards are not complaining about cost, but trying to save up coin to get it.

That Hardbody was just featured in a magazine too.  Yet another version of a CALMINI SAS (leafs in front).  I'm a Zuk guy also, but I can't recall the last time a Zuk was featured in an off-road mag.

something tells me the Samurai frame will be entirely too narrow for the bolt-on cross-members and radius arm mounts to work properly.
