    Default Smart Expo?

    OK, had to share this - we just got notification of the hottest new product for 2010: The Smart Lift by Daystar:

    "And now for something completely different! The creative minds at Daystar Products have once again stepped outside the box and are putting the finishing touches on a 2" lift kit for the 2005 and newer smart fortwo. The kit features strut spacers for the front, coil and shock spacers for the rear, a steering shaft extension, and other items that address everything needed to make some more room in the already tight wheelwells. Due to the unusual nature of the suspension used on the smart car, Daystar has spent several months testing and refining the kit to ensure it's up to even the most ridiculous abuse. The 2" lift provides room to run up to 175/70-15 tires on the front and 185/70-15 tires on the rear. That may be small by off-roading standards, but consider these sizes are nearly 2-1/2" taller than the factory tires!

    Daystar debuted a smart car concept at the 2009 SEMA show to gauge the reaction of a lifted smart car. The car has a rally-inspired look, with custom wheels, BFGoodrich rally tires, an imported carbon fiber roof vent, a rollcage, and a custom light bar with Daystar lights on it. Needless to say, the reaction was very positive. Expect finalized pricing and availability sometime in June."

    No, I typically have to cater to our highly spoiled and coddled techs in the shop.
