Hey,
I need some new springs soon as was wondering if anyone got some pics of efs 2" rears all round. Im wondering if i should order 2" rears for the front and 3" rears for the back so it all sits level. Both ends have extended shackles but the rears are about a 1" extended while the fronts are 2" extended.
cheers

i put the 65mm lifted rears all around with 2 inch extended shackles front and rear. I ended up having to remove heaps of leafs to get the rear to flex. front works good though. Car site pretty level with this setup.

ok, so im thinking a 2" all round will be ok. i might just get the front first and see how its sits. Ive currently got flatened 2" rears and stnd rears up front, and its sits slightly lower at the front

yeah same, I ran 3 until they got soft. If you leave them with the 3 they will go flat pretty fast. Apparently the efs springs are longer than the other brands which is good aswell.

i got 3 in the front, thinking of adding another on the drivers side only to even up the lean.

mick - use an old leaf or two cut down to the length of the perch to act as a spacer on the spring - this will stop one side being stiffer than the other =)

drivers side seems to be way softer/flexier anyway particularly when cornering at speed, i would prefer it to match the passenger side for stiffness.
I could always throw the 5" lifted calmini's in the front from the bluezuk  no danger of sagging there
dont think my spine would survive though.

can you just run the main leaf from the calmini kit? mix and match a little... im pretty sure that the cal leaves are longer, so if you run the main leaf only with your current other leaves you should get some more flex =)
