Where to get lowering parts for hilux 02

Postby Edd » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:39 am

Just got a 02 Hilux double cab 2wd and looking at lowering it so it dramatically handles better. Does anyone know what to do and where to get the parts from.

Thinking on spindles for the front and resetting the back leaves.

Can anyone help?

For the springs I belive you have snells springs up there or most spring makers in the phone book should be able to do the job. As for spindles send tuf720 a pm and see when he is doing his order to the states and if he cant help you out theres always West coast hoppers in Aucks, The drop shop in Aucks, Ed jnr kustoms in wellys prob a few more but they come to mind 1st.

I used Archers in Takanini to reset my leaves as Snells were too busy, my advice is to wait for Snells.

To drop the front with out spindles you just wind the torsion bars down then go for a wheel aligment. If you ask them nice the wheel aligment place may lower the front for you before they do the aligment.
