3 inches is legal if u call it 'chassis stiffening' rather than lift kit
you can get em from http://www.cip1.com, and even mick motors (i believe) can order them
in.
I believe that they are steel though, rather than Mick's alloy lift kit. And if the legalities annoy ya i'm pretty certain Mick does a 2 inch...

Thanks for the feedback..
Not concerned if not technically legal as it will only ever be on club rego...
Will look into the cip or Mick Motors option...
