Sorry bad one.
I agree over 3' then corrected arms are needed. There are some 3' correction bushes available, however I don't fancy them.

I'm a using castor correction bushs but as you can see in the pic above 3 deg offset bushs are not enough for a 80mm lift. My castor angle it still out by 1deg from what suzuki recommend i think it is +0.55deg to +1.00 deg mine are currently -0.55 degrees. I will be getting new cromolly front radius are which are 25mm longer than the standard. This will make the castor angle perfect and making the wheels base a little bit longer than factory and will give me slightly more flex to.

P.s. Gary if you had yellow springs why would you be eating them? sorry i don't see the humor in that.

Biggaz: they may be for girls but i really don't wont my castor angle to be out by over -3deg from what suzuki recommend, and put unnecessary strain in other suspension components.
