I'm pretty exited for this. I'll probably wait till late winter to buy them but Flatout makes some great stuff. A solid 2 to 2.5 in drop with some 22"s should look good and still drive great.

Why lower a SC... it looks great at the stock stance...what a waste of dollars....

 

[Dug_Pud]

It's all a waste of money, just like the tailgate stickers everyone has. I think that's a waste of money and isn't my style at all but people can do as they want. It's their money.
Just like buying 22" wheels and a lowering kit will be a waste of MY MONEY, and I'll be smiling over every speed bump and pothole in town.

 

[Gecsr01]

I guess people just want something different and are willing to pay the price....LOL

 

[Gecsr01]

Yes stickers are STUPID ....for sure...

Why do any mods to a vehicle? Because there are things you might not like from the factory. Simple as that.

Why install:
1) A tonneau cover.
2) A 4 pin towing harness.
3) A dash cam.
4) A console tray.
5) A lock in the bed storage bins.
What may be a waste of dollars to you isn't to others. What you spend your dollars on may be a waste to others.
Bottom line: Why do you give two sh!ts about what people do to their own SC with their own money?

Sneak Peek (rendering) Kinda demonstrates the 'why'.

But then... there's this!

It ain't low if you can see daylight under it.

Has anyone seen a decent lift kit for a Santa Cruz? Does anyone know if it would void the warranty?

You have research to do!

Eibach posted some months ago about a forthcoming Pro-Kit lowering package for the SC, but no word on a release date as of yet. 🤷‍♂️ The pics in their post give a good visual of their kit with stock 18" wheels (definitely needs at least 20" wheels IMHO).

 

[Mike34]

Looks like theres a lowering kit available.

aloha mike

From their website:

Looks really good to me... however:
Note: Installation of the Eibach rear shock is required to replace the factory Nivomat self-levelling shocks in order to lower the vehicle. Eibach shocks are not self-levelling.

Bit of a bummer but kind of expected. Wish they just had a relocation kit.

However this does confirm the rear shocks are Nivomat units:

Nivomat? Self leveling power

No guarantee but likely the SC rear shocks are using the patented Nivomat technology. I was interested in it, read it, and this weekend had a chance to test it. The below pictures show the empty standard ride height 38”, then I loaded 960 lbs of softener salt it dropped to 35.5”. If felt...

That's not a bummer. Nivomats are trash.

That looks like a well put together kit, pretty affordable too given the contents of the package.
