Hi Guys,

I'm Matt from the UK and I have brought and installed the https://m0nster.ru/ Lift Kit and coilovers for my 2006 Shogun Pinin. Custom coilovers solve the issue of the low strut pan on the EU spec Pinin and have allowed me to fit larger diameter tyres (205/80/r16) with ease. The kit works well and hasn't hindered comfort or handling, I would definitly recomend it for the price.

Installation

I started by installing the rear shock absorbers and springs, this was easily done with a socket set and a pair of spring compressors. The supplied shock absorbers also allow a greater articulation in the rear axle. The kit however also comes with and adustable panhard bar which enables the correction of the side offset to the rear axle by the longer strings, This just replaces the origial bar and give the opputunity of a far higher lift in the future. Because I only chose the 50mm lift kit I didn't change the brake lines from stock and have had no issues when I have taken it offroad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To lift the front with the coilovers the front subframe/diff must be droped to account for the increased cv joint angles. This is done with several 50mm spacers. First I removed the original coilovers then removed every other bolt holding the subframe to the chassis, the new bolts were then put in place and the engine can be lowered down with a trolly jack and the spacers inserted. This was supprisingly easy to do with the limited tools I had, although a impact gun was needed to loosen off most of the bolts. The only other modification needed was the extention of the steering collumn (RHD only?) by welding the supplied spacer in place and the use of a 45 angle piece of hose to move the radiator hose down to avoid clashing with the fan belt.

(With 205/80/r16 Insa Turbo Special Track 2s)

Hope this helps anyone interested in a pre-made Lifting solution :)

Great thanks for posting. I'm

Great thanks for posting.

I'm also in the UK having bought my SWB GDI Pinin late last year.

What was the final shipped cost to the UK for the kit?

Lifting 50mm, didn't think you needed to drop the diff/steering shaft mod, and rear panhard bar.

Cheers,

Mike.

The final cost was 69000

The final cost was 69000 rub.(cheaper than quotes I got for custom coilovers)

I agree that the diff drop probably isnt needed but the adjustable front shocks allow for the car to easily be lifted up to 75mm+ without worrying about the cv's and the rear can be easily be lifted further with some spacers.

I think the kit uses Hilux shocks and maybe the Mazda springs? So if staying at 50mm you could just buy the coilovers and source the other parts making it substantially cheaper.

Thanks, very

Thanks, very tempting!

Looking at your pictures, I would add a rubber strut boot to protect the shaft from off road debris!

Glad I could help.
The coilovers come with covers that fit over the entire spring, I haven't had any trouble with dirt/contanint so far but a rubber boot might work better?

Either, if you have a boot

Either, if you have a boot over the spring I would use that if fits well.

I think you need something, you only have trouble when the shaft is scored, and the strut damper seal is consequently damaged and leaking.

Thanks for the info, this is my first 4x4 so the problems from dirt and rocks etc are new to me.
The cover looks like this:

M0nster also has a list of people who have installed his kit, this contains loads of photos that might be useful as I didn't take many.

I can send you pictures of any where you might have questions about but for the coil overs it is quite a straight forward swap.
