    OK so just to make sure I am understanding all this (the more I read on them the more I get confused) the 1.5" drop brackets "will actually raise the ride height up front"? So when the drop bracket is installed and torsion bars are cranked 3" the VX will sit 4.5" higher, YES? I am wanting to put my deposit down but just need someone to confirm it one more time.

    Now will I need to drop the crossmember too? What happens if I don't?

    I think I will stick with the 2" poly spring spacer since if I'm lifting it I might as well LIFT it!

    OK so right now here is the list of Items needed to lift ride height 4.5" without tires:

    OME 912 springs
    1.5" front diff drop bracket
    2" poly spring spacers
    New rear shocks (what size?)
    2" bumpstop extensions
    crank torsion bars 3"

    Items that can wait a bit:

    4.56 gears
    front shocks (what size?) they are starting to go and I want to replace.

    Now anthing I am missing?



    Items that I will eventually get installed to make a kick arse VX: (kind of a note to self)

    Front hitch reciever
    Tones rear hitch reciever
    Multi-mount 8000i winch
    Swordys beefy tie rods
    Swordys sway bar disconects
    Ram-air Snorkel kit, lots of silicone
    ARB lockers (dreaming)
    lots of CF accesories for looks (functional scooped hood insert, mirror covers, halfmoon, dash trim, guage pillar, and replace fake stuff)

    Then I will try to enter it into a car show, if I haven't dented the crap out of it. LOL!

    Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread, you have been a lot of help!
