haha thats a 'suzuki hatch', has it got a 543cc or 799cc eng?
mechanically its the exact same as my mighty boys, your very limited in wheel choice.
lowering the rear, easiest way is to get some HR lowering blocks, they are the closest fit for that car, u just need to mod the locating pin.
for the front us some SA swift lowered springs. u can get these at any KING spring dealer.
if u need any more info PM me, or goto www.tamon.org (http://www.tamon.org)

Yer my orange one in the pic was an 800cc, untill i rollled it and rapped it around a tree lol but the new one is a 500cc
The one i just got i got registerd yesterday and they said it was a suzuki van haha.
Where would i get the blocks from and would they have to be specifically for a suzuki mini beast or could i get universal ones and how low would it drop it cos i want it like tucking tyre..
Myt just get the grinder out for the front end and Ino everyone thinks chopping springs is a stupid idea but the cars only worth like $10 and chopping the springs couldnt make it anymore dangerous than it already is....
anyone no if turning the brackets around will work?

dude you take the main load bearing spring out of the setup and flip it over on top of the springs gotta hold them together with clamps and stuff to get them back together not as easy as block but it doesnt take long when you know what your doing me and a mate did it to all his courier utes hes owned trust me for you it would be easier to put blocks in unless you know what your doing..
cheers chris
