Looking for a few various parts for my RL1
Well after deciding against going with air for the past year I have decided the springs are just not low enough. So If I am going to go with air there is a few things that I am looking to get. One being Extended Door Sliders not actually sure if this is something that is made by any company and I have tried to research them and fall short. Now I imagine that I will have to have the part fabricated unless anyone has any suggestions for me that would be great. Basically I need this so I can run a wider rear wheel than a 8.5" wheel since that barely has enough clearance for my doors to slide open. I picked up a set of 20's pretty cheap to check for fitment issues and they were 20x8.5 which unless I can bring the doors out more is the maximum I will be able to run. I am looking at the 2 kits that are offered one by KSport which I think is a name I can trust and another being FBSS (AirBagIt.com) which I don't know much about so also looking for input on their quality of product. Just because people love seeing pictures here is what the van looks like pretty much right now (took the 20's off of it since the van wasn't low enough).

I sure am interested in sourcing out the company that is selling these kits. All I can ever find is either Springs or "LowBoyz Coilover" which is a company that is known for their low quality parts. Do you have more info on these vans?

Well found the company after randomly typing www.t-demand.jp lol because google searches led me no where. The problem is the RL1 platform isn't listed on their website which leads me to believe they used on of the other platform Ody's with slight modifications. So back to researching a little bit more and hopefully something will come up.

airbaggit sells terrible stuff. read reviews all over the net, general consensus is almost always the same.

^^^this guy....too late man. we had a Best of Show in Chicago. you just gotta think like an adult. Not everyone is single and plays with 240's. people have families so they mod what they have... having a modded van or wagon doesn't make you less of a man....just cuz import tuning is male dominated here

Glad to see I am not the only one going against the odds here. I have had my RL1 for a couple years and was gonna mod it..then changed my mind..now I am back on the boat again.Wit all the VIP cars I build in my shop..seems only right for me to have a wagon to the fleet of vehicles @ shows,plus I am huge wagon lover=).So wit that being said, alot of planning for parts are being sourced and considered now,some the parts will be from stateside, wit alot of modifications done to compliment the scene(especially since Japan exchange rates are still riduculous). JDMJim..seems like u have a vast knowledge of the darkchild wagons..any all help will be great.
@ phyberoptix, I have heard of the extenders for the RL1 chasis before,but was never able to source them out either..chances are I am gonna make my own or get some wheels that will work & still give me alittle lip(negative camber is gonna help) and I am definetly looking @ air ride for mine too..
