who has installed a SFD

[alexg89]

im getting ready to pull the trigger on one and id like to know what im getting into.

Doing it i dont believe will be an issue, but for something ive never tackled im sure its going to start off rough.

 

Any one have pictures or a link of an install?

 

trying to search up on the site but havent really come across anything helpful

There are r50 sfd groups on Facebook and some write ups floating around the internet.

Cal Rodriguez did a YouTube video installing his sfd that will give you a good idea.

 

 

 

The SFD kit is

subframe drop blocks
strut spacers
Engine mount blocks
Longer panhard drop bracket
Missing link lower control arm cross brace
Mounting hardware 

Steering extension

extended brake lines

Forums are definitely the right place to find information. I dare to say 90% of the people on the Facebook groups have zero idea about anything specific to the r50. It's all, "what lift, wheels, bumper, lights....?"

yah i know what i can and cant do in those aspects lol 

never know what little quirks youll find though. seen something about the PS lines and a missing link which noone will ever mention on FB.

i dont doubt i can do it, i just wanna know the the little aggravating aspects that noone talks about you know lol
