it has been brought to my attention that there may be some of you out there that would rather have a suspension lift kit in the same vein of the original Eibach kit, or, in other words, about 2.5" up front and about 1.5" out back. this means that it is not necessary to alter anything else in the suspension, except getting an alignment after the install. it would lift your vehicle enough to run a 30" tire and with the body lift from 4crawler, enough to run a wide 31" tire or a really skinny 33" tire.
if i can get a set of Eibachs (one each, front and rear) i can have this option made to be very similar to them, maybe tweak it just a little for a tiny bit more height, stiffness, etc. i can't say what the price might be just yet because the price of steel has gone up considerably since i started having the 4" coils made and i am getting a damn good deal on those, as far as i can tell. i am shooting for a $300-350 range, and again, this would include coils only. you will have to get new rear shocks in order to see the benefits of the added droop and it is still recommended you get new front struts so that any sort of wear pattern your current struts may have developed will not cause your seals to leak, thus leaking any gas charge those struts may have.
this leaves the option open for anyone who may want to add Dennis Thompson's UpYourKia spacers later for the full 4" lift.
this kit will be designed more for budget than anything else, while the RSG 4" kit is designed with maximum articulation in mid for rock-crawling.
so, who wants this? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />
