I was all ready to go for the calmini 3" kit until I got a $600 quote for postage.....
Can anyone offer any advice on alternatives?

Cheers

Bit steep ay :/ I was having the same issue depending where u are and what u want. I personally run pedders no issue it's alittle stiff but handles great on and off road:) there are also others such as ironman or old man emu depending what u want and how much u wanna part with, also because of the storms in the u.s you may wanna be looking into how and where it comes from :D

$600 post is just the cost of importing the lift, just look at the end price, you will find the Australian sellers cost will be around the same.


When I get a few more dollars saved I am buying the SS4535 3.5” suspension system, post is $500.

I was looking at the calmini because I've read things on the forum about them having items other kits don't, which help to sort out camber issues or something....

Can I do something like raised ironman springs and commodore wagon shocks without too many problems?
Thanks

When you put the whole kit in a box (or two) it's farken heavy, so postage is always going to hurt.

Where was the quote from? Email Calmini direct (is Jake still there?) or Tyler at LROR and see if they can work out a cheaper option. They are both usually pretty good at seeing what they can do, after all they don't make any money off the shipping but they do if they can make a sale!
