Pretty sure they won't sell it here. Pretty sure they won't do larger then the 2.5 for legal reasons. A mate got comp spec 4 inch springs for his patrol from them but they won't install them and don't really even like to sell them from what I have been told by ARB stores.

Well fellow ARB knockers, they've finally released something worthy of being called a kit. Good stuff ARB. Good stuff. Obviously they've been doing some reading and testing themselves.

Looks like they're also using their new mid length (25") front shock with their long travel rear. Good bet as the old long travel front shock (27") was a bit too long for use with the stock front driveshaft.

I also note they're using the X5K spring wire so King Springs on the Gold Coast are manufacturing these coils. Good material - is Bathurst spec if you go by their website lol.

That's pricey for a "kit" that doesn't even contain adjustable arms.

They've had long enough to address some of the geometry and quality issues where the "2 inch" lifts fell short, now this...

All I can say is that its a huge market - lots of suspension kits I would be inclined to opt for ahead of ARB. Good luck

ARB drove this car in to our work with the kit on back in December. As of last week its still not confirmed for Aus. As for the origin of their components, dont think its local sorry.
