so im about to do a 2 inch suspension lift

ive got my 2 inch springs, vs commodore wagon shocks , and the front has already had the strut top flip.

im keeping the stock struts so i just need to put the new springs in,

is the front going to b llower than the rear and if this is the case do i need to assemble it together first and work out if i will need spacers or is there an easier option out there?

please hhhhelppp :mrgreen:

Ride height is determined by the springs, so if you have a matching set they'll... match.

Shocks/struts determine travel/articulation, so you'll have more flex in the back than the front, which isn't an issue.

The exception would be if the struts or shocks were too long compressed and the car was sitting on them fully compressed instead of the springs - not likely. Whack everything in and see how she sits.

Commodore wagon shocks?
Shouldn't vitaras have the sedan shocks in the rear? Wagon ones aren't too long.

Wagon from memory, but I've never done it so never paid all that much attention. Couldn't be bothered searching now.

I have the sedans and there 630 from memory
This is way to long for any one with short coils
They would loose them all the time
