Hi

Just wondering which model Suzuki has coils front and rear? I am looking at buying one to build as a budget crawler...
Any help will be great..

Coil Sierra 1996-1997
All Vitaras
All Jimnys

None would really be budget

Coily sierra (95/96 on)

Jimny

Vitara (IFS though)

Just get a leafy sierra and fit Hilux diffs, much cheaper/better.

Would be cheaper/easier/more practical to buy a leafsprung sierra and convert it to coils/airshocks.

Thanks for the info.. I have a very capable GU wagon 5"lift (Superior Engineering) reduction gears and 35's but it is too big and expensive to fix. So I am looking a Suzuki for a play rig and trailer it to places... So thanks for the info...

Buy a NT LWB sierra and spend 5K on mods and it will make your potrol look like a comodore.

By the time you engineer all the flaws out of either the coil sierra or jimny suspension when biulding for crawling, you won't be left with any of it, so you might as well start with leaves

Suzuki designed the coil suspension of the Jimny/coil sierra for road use. It has no more travel than leaf suspension standard and is harder to reengineer for more travel.

They are radius arm design which is a poor candidate for a crawler as it doesn't articulate well on a light car.

Get a leaf sprung Sierra then, IMO the only advantage coil sprung ones have over leafys is a better ride. You can pick up a shitter Sierra for a few hundered too, coilies are still worth something.

If you wanted coils for "more flex" then you don't need them, here's a zook on leafs. :wink:
