Yes but 3" is doable without having to replace CV's ever few months or weeks. Any more and your CV's will be going weekly. But then you could always do the full body lift like Alex was thinking. It just cost more to buy.....

and i now have more information from a very trustworthy source that the gen3s are prone to pulling captive nuts.
no bodylift is happening here.

small update, i have done afew cosmetic small mods/wanky stuff.
-HID kit waiting to go in
-4watt LED parkers and number plate lights on the rear
-gen3 liberty grill from my lib installed (it has more chrome on it)
-sub + amp installed, ive also wired power to the boot area to accomodate accesories
-iridium spark plugs
-optima yellowtop gel cell battery hopefully this week
i have also fixed the cruise control (via a battery reset) and fixed up the passenger side rubber door seal as it was hanging low and being a bitch when trying to close the door.
my gaffa tape windscreen wiper linkage bushes seem to be holding up really well also (unexpected)
all in all the car is coming along slowly, but nicely. Im really enjoying driving it at the moment.
more pics will come hopefully this weekend

Ah the joys of gaffa tape / duct tape you got pictures of this fix?

no pics of the gaffa tape fix. I was too ashamed of it, but it was my only choice at the time.
