search in the gallery on here for the original brochers and show the inspector. I know he wont like the look of shiney lowering blocks! What size rim are you running? If you get a flat with even a 13" you will hit the susp before you hit the rim which isnt a good thing!

Ok sooooooo option D: find something that weighs 500 kg to put in the back on inspection day, yet still small enough to be covered with a picnic blanket :)

They have rake like that because they are made to carry 500kg!

1000 sedan leaves will sit it a bit lower. I used to run sedan leaves and 2" lowering blocks in my 1000 wag and it sat pretty level.

Yeh Beattie sounds good, itll hold till I go over the pits at least, I guess its up to Unfamilia wether its ok to drill his blocks tho :).

Benny, apparently the car cant have a rake, or so the guy doing the RWC is telling me. I could go to another guy but I have my reasons for staying with this guy ;)

1k sedan springs?
or will 1200 springs fit? (minus the mounts)

I get confused with what 1200/1k parts are interchangeable (as so obviously already demonstrated)

Unless I have missed something, if the suspension was stock and unmodified, how can the vehicle be knocked back for a RWC? Whats the deal?

ive had my lowering blocks in for about 2 years like that? Its only a locator pin, I sheered both on my landcruiser and didnt realize till the next day cos the U bolts held the diff in place and i have a #OOPS#load more stress in the cruiser then a 1000 will ever have!

Pedders coulnt help me when I went out there. the 1200 U bolts were different to the 1k anyhoo

yeh Beattie the drill/washer idea just might work, not sure how safe itd be ie: if that lug gets sheared by the washer, yr in trouble. Plus those lugs are tapered. but yeh were talking about blocks i guess...

Goddam im wishing id gone for the reset.

Still I might draw what would be ideal up and see how much to get it made, I mean surely its no biggie for someone with
a chunk of aluminium and a lathe...?
