The Beast I Drive Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 (edited) Hey ya'll, Im getting more orgabized now and Im starting to get back into production mode with my lift kits. Right now I am ready to produce 2", 4", and 6" lifts for EA82 and EA81 vehicles, and Im working on some 3" prototypes as well. I also hope to soon be able to make Legacy/Outback lift kits as well, in addition to Gen 1 lifts. I can also make strut blocks in any size you want, from 2" to 20" or more Here are some pics of my protoype 3" EA81 lift kit, a pair of 4" strut blocks, as well as a few vehicles that are sporting a Bill Omlin Monster Lift. I will have more pics of my other lifts up soon, I suck when it comes to taking pictures, and I forget to take pics before installing or shipping out a kit, but I will have more pics soon. These parts are in bare metal, but i can paint them just about any color you want. All kits come with all new Grade 8 mounting bolts, and soon I will be including all new Grade-8 equivelant hardware as well. My kits do not include the steering link, so you will have to make that yourself, for liability reasons. Thanks for looking, and be sure to come back when I get more pics up! 6" lifted '85 GL wagon 6" lifted EA81 wagon 6" lifted '87 GL wagon 3" lifted '85 Brat 6" lifted EA81 Hatchback 6" lifted '87 GL wagon 6" lifted '85 GL wagon/truck thing 4" lifted EA82 Sedan 4" lifted EA82 wagon -Bill Edited October 27, 2009 by The Beast I Drive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman18 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Don't you also make other goodies:grin: My power steering bracket worked out awesome!! Bill is great to deal with and makes sure his stuff will work on your car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks Bratman18, yes, I do make and offer other parts as well, such as the power steering bracket kit (allows the use of EA82 power steering setup on an EA81 motor) Now here's my prototype 3" EA82/Loyale lift kit This is what I would call a Stage 2 3" lift, it uses 2" blocks on the crossmembers and diff, and 3" blocks on the struts, giving you 1" extra clearance over a Stage 1 lift (which would be everything blocked 3") As you can see, the EA82 lift kits have about 2 1/2x more pieces than a similar EA81 lift kit. This kit will sell for $300 with a rear diff bar core, $350 without the core. Plus shipping of course More to come, stay tuned! -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. -Daniel I dont have a Gen 1 kit as of yet, but Im hoping to have a couple of 4" kits made by Christmas, Im planning on having 2", 3", 4", and 6" kits for the Gen 1 Subarus. Price for those will probably be about the same as the EA81 kits, but I will have more details when I get to that point. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtomtom Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hello Bill, i am the in uk and struggling to get a lift kit for my brat. i want to lift it 4" and would like to buy the whole kit from you to do so, your kit looks a lot more substantial than any other i've seen. i can make the steering extension no problems as i have a transmission company. Could you send a kit to the uk? how much including shipping? do you have the kit off the shelf or do i need to wait? thanks in advance, Tom Cresswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 At the moment I don't have any on the shelf, and I have a few orders I have to fill first, but I can let you know when I have one for you. Shipping to UK I don't know about, last time I shipped a kit international I had a hell of a time, and it was expensive, and it was only to Canada... But I will see what I can do -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get my solicitor to send you a guarantee that they will be destroyed after I have made one kit and that I will not market them as I have no interest in doing so. (I bought my brat on friday and trying to find spares has led me to believe there's only a handful in the UK anyway so it wouldn't be much of a business venture!) My company is Glebe Engineering Ltd, http://www.glebe.co.uk, you can see that off roading etc is not in our interest business wise, i've bought a brat as i race enduros on a ktm and carrying the bike on a frame on my little peugeot 206 van up craggy lanes is killing the axle!! let me know if this is of any interest.

Scoobywagon Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 THAT is just frickin' AWESOME! The newspaper is a nice touch. Frankly, though, I wonder if a Transit van wouldn't be a more appropriate choice. I don't think a BRAT will complain overly much at the weight, but it seems to me that the Transit van offers a nicer place to work between races.
