Lowering a Toyota Hiace.! - HAMILTON AREA!

Postby blazed_racer » Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:24 pm

Hey;

been out and about all day today to try and find someone who could lower my 96 hiace van....

the best any one could do for me is 2inch.! IMO that is not enough;

now I have seen other Hiace's driving around which are rather low; some easily lower than 3inch,


my question is: how do they do it??

can anyone help me out?


if there are any hamilton members on here that could do it; could you help me out?

cheers!
