Howdy folks.. I am thinking about getting an xA so I have been browsing around in the forums here. I've noticed a lot of posts about lowering an xA, but has anybody lifted one for a rally car look? Of course beyond that would be suspension upgrades and bigger tires... TIA

 

You know this came to mind when I saw the open deck bB (the pickup truck version), but I guess a rally version of the xA is possible.. I'm pretty sure you would have to do a body lift since a frame lift on this vehicle isn't much of a possibility is it? Unibody and all isn't conducive to that, or so I was told some years back

 

Finally, someone who thinks along my lines! I had rally suspension on my old Datsun 510 and really miss it. I'd love to get another two or three inches of air under my xB!

The tire diameter is restricted by the wheel opening, and it would only be safe to increase the tire diameter by about 2 inches. Raising the front would be relatively easy with struts and springs, and the rear would need longer springs and shocks.

With the Datsun, all the parts were available right over the dealer parts counter, but I doubt that Toyota will be as helpful.
