There are some people out there that how have turbocharged Sidekicks. I plan on turboing mine next year but for now I'm working on get the engine rebuilt, installing and tunning Megasquirt with nitrous. My goal for this year is 150WHP. How did you lower it, did you use a kit or new springs or cut the old ones. Did you retrofit the sway bars or buy a new ones.

used a set of ford ranger coils and cut them to fit and a sway bar off a ford from the junk yard , bumps are hard but corners are fun if you are planning a turbo settup are you lowering the compression ? using dished pistons so you can run more boost? now would be the time to do it . i have a nos settup but my motor is old and i dont want to break it right now but thats whay i was asking about the turbo settup i want to rebuild it and build the motor to run boost , was wondering what people had done and where to get the right parts to do such a settup

I have another motor I'm building up. I'm going to probably use forged H-beam rods (the stock ones are week and are good for about 200HP) and JE forged low compression pistons 8.8:1 from Off Center Custom Racing - The Suzuki Performance Specialists ! and the rods from www.suzukird.com. Check out Foo! . H&R makes lowering springs thats probably what I'm going to get along with anti-roll bars and front a-arms from CALMINI Products Inc. - Suzuki, Nissan, Isuzu Suspension Systems and Lift Kits . I'd like to get Koni ajustable shocks and struts but there very expensive.

here i was cleaning off a spot to weld the brackets, you could bolt them on with a little more work and some 4" square stock , i had to put it on towards the rear but it works great , very flat corners , next up is air bags for the back
