G'day Gary,

Thanks for the info. By the way, is Ironman actually making front struts for the Sporty? Are they any longer than stock? How much lift is their current kit?

The plan is to recommence marketing new shocks in the near future, in negotiations with alternative suppliers AFAIK.

I believe they will be stock length.

True 2.5"/2.5", probably more like 3" rear in the shortbody versions (less weight/leverage over the rear). 13.4" to the chassis rails adjacent to the jack point, with 31" tyres.


2002 Sporty , Ironman 2.5" spring, 2" body, 15 x 7 ROH wheels, K&N, 15 x 10.5 Simex Centipedes, Powerchip 91.

Hi Gary,

By shortbody, do you mean the shorter 4 door in the US or the really short 2 door?

I wonder if they will sell just the rear coils?

Have you heard of any plans for a US distributership since BDS fell thru?

Thanks,

Both really, but I was actually only referring to the hard top (didn't think of the soft top...)
