All the above plus fitting stiffer anti-roll bars. I don't know if anyone makes these - but if you go to a scrap yard, you will probably be able to find something about the right width and shape. Then just modify the knuckles (the bit that joins the torsion bar to the axle) to suit.

:blush: Me too! I reckon it would look pretty cool if it was subtly done. I did see a picture of a 'street' Jimny on google a long time ago which looked good, but I can't find it now.

Maybe chop a coil or two off the springs (although not the best method) and fit slightly lower profile tyres. You would need to make sure that there is still room for the shocks to move (so they don't bottom out) after the spring chop.

If you do lower your Jimny, get some photos on here, I would be very interested to see the outcome :)

Custom made springs are the way to go. How far are you dropping it? What other mods are you planning on doing to it?

I can't wait to see some pictures....it is definitely something different :)

Suppose if you are only going to use it on the road, then it could look ok and still be ok for the bad weather.

Have you considered using polybushes for the anti-roll bar?
