front shackel reversal
« on: January 04, 2007, 10:35:22 »
Happy New Year to you all.
 Right, I have been wondering what to do next on my Sammy and I've been reading stuff and looking on the net and I think the next thing could be a shackle reversal.
 Wanted to know 1) Is it worth it, will it improve the ride.
                         2) Where the cheapest or best kits are from.
                         3) Can one be home fabricated.

 I've got two inch lifting shackles and two inch lifted springs with 31" Macho's. I've looked at the calmini kit but it seems to come with a load of stuff i don't want which would cost alot to ship from the states. Are there any places in the uk i can get the kit or at least the laser cut front towers.
 
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and read with interest

 Cheers
    Ian

try a search, its been posted on a couple of times, including someone who got bad steering wobbles after fitting the Calamini kit if I remember correctly.
Go on....cut me in half........it says SUZUKI all the way thru the middle!!

word of warning before anyone orders anything from calmini from any outlet in the uk
if your in no hurry your be ok but if you want it quicky id get from a uk manufacture
damon is as far as no still waiting for a vitara front axle granvile conversion some 8 months after ordering it i think he's even paid for it.
if your lookin for a shackle reverse try rob butler @ rubbers-suzuki in eastbourne

Thanks simon,
 
I emailed rob and if i want his kit he can get it to me in a couple of days.

  Is there much of an improvement to the on-road ride and if the anti-roll bar on the front is removed ( i think it would have to be ? ) does the change stop the front corner nose diving into the bends.

 cheers
