I have a LC100 IFS and am strongly considering ATS 4x4 to upgrade my suspension with their drop diff kit and Bilstein shocks etc. My question are,
1..Has anyone else had this done to their LC100 IFS?
2..Were you happy with the service from ATS?
3..Are you happy with the suspension?
I would also appreciate feedback from those that may have had the suspension upgrade for 10,000km or more.
Thanks
Regards Craig

Craig you could do no better than Darren at ATS, he has been working on Landcruisers for a long time & is well known on the LCOOL list for his knowledge.
I run his sliders / steps on my 100 & am very happy with them.

Craig,

I'm very happy with the setup apart from an issue I had with the diff drop.
Just make sure that no spacers are inserted between the bash plate and the bottom of the radiator.

Hi CraigB
I have the full front end treatment from ATS on my 100 series couldn't be happier.completed numerous Simpson crossings,Madigan line,CSR,Hay river Track etc etc .no problems and goes further than my old patrol with a solid beam axle.Darren knows his business.
Whilst we have become good friends ,I have no affiliation etc.

Not a 100 series but 120. Done suspension there and heaps of
other mods over the last 3 years. No problems to date after 70K
Got very good service from Darren and he has got excellent knowledge of all this stuff...

Hi Truckster,
No doubt he does. One of the reasons I was asking for feedback was that I have tried several times to contact him leaving email messages and have got little or no response. Still awaiting a response from my last email some 4 weeks ago. I'm pleased with the positive feedback from others, now all I have to do is to actually experience the same positiveness myself.
Regards

Darren had a bit of incident at start of August, and has been off work for at least 2 weeks after that... I don't think he fully recovered yet either... Might be worth sending him email again.

And just as a note for those who get a message that we have "violated exploroz" that comes from when we were asked to pay $500 to keep our screen name on the forum, while we were speaking with exploroz about an advertising package, which saw our screen name banned, when we didnt pay by the deadline, so we never proceeded with advertising packages either.
