Hey Guys,
I did some searching around and found these guys.
SJR Lift
http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option ... e&Itemid=5
They are from america, and make and sell lift kits, diff drop plate,
Engine swap parts, 4 to 6 stud hubs, all sorts.
Seems to be mainly for older subaru's.
Would like to see what you guys make of some of their products.
Cheers Cam

That's interesting, nice find. Would be good for hub stud pattern conversions but you have to send them your hubs
Also looking at the lift kits it seems the blocks aren't really blocks, but U shaped. Would have thought this would compromise strength?

Looking at the EA81 kit some of it is tubular and I too dont like the U shaped design.
Dont know how Australian Engineers would feel about it.
My kit is from Scorpion and it is the solid aluminium type so if anyone has the EA81 Australian tubular kit is it all tubular or similar to this USA type ?
I had a mate at work who had the tubular type from, I think, Subamods in VIC but I dont know who else makes/made them.

Interesting that there is actually someone else making kits!
As when I searched just a few months ago, I only found crossbred to be current.

SJR have been kicking around for a while now.
A few blokes in the club imported some of their kits when Ls were the flava

Does Steve at Rising Sun do kits?
The idea of a diff drop plate sounds good, drop your diff to creat less cv angle, only problem is a lower diff to hit stuff and a greater driveshaft angle.

Dunno about S@RS but the diff drop is just a different way to drop the back of the diff. The gearbox should come down as well in the lift kit so there's no new prop shaft angle to worry about.
And some times the rear end is done differently to the way we usually do it - instead of moving the K frame down they just drop the swing arms out further. To me this isn't the way to do it but each to their own, here's an example:
Note how the rear wheel has been swung down and forward, the rear guard's been cut to accommodate this.
This is when they typically do the diff drop with the modified front mount, the rear drop mount can still be used with the K frame dropped.
