Anyone have any Coil Spring spacers there running in their Coilys?
Just wondering the best place to buy them, as my mate just fitted a set to his surf, sounds a cheap lift.

I found these on Ebay, Spring Spacer

Is it a relativatly easy procedure installing them, I all ready have a 2" spring lift.

Cheers.

I would not use spacers for a cheap lift, I have only used them to level out the ride in my car. With the extra weight of my winch, bar and 2nd battery it sagged alot in the front.

Due to the way the suspension is set up in the front the 15mm spacer raises the vehicle by 30mm.


This only applies to ifs suspension. You will need the same spacer all around if yours is a coily.
Get some ratchet spanners, they will make taking the nuts off / putting them on the strut towers a lot faster.

most people use them to lift a car, its not want its meant for but works perfectly fine in my vitara. i found it relativly easy to fit. make sure your car can handle bigger than a 50mm lift thou and make sure u get shocks to suit.

If you're already lifted 2" (springs?) it will be a tight fit getting them in, but nothing too bad. Have just done the same to my IFS Vit to level out F/R.

PM bruce on here, he manufactures them and sells them nice and cheap.

Quoting somone else here, but:
You're supposed to fix the problem, not just treat the symptoms.

If your front end sags, get stiffer springs.. Don't just pack a spacer in there

And a mate of mine put 1.5" Coil Spacers in his 4dr Vit a few months back, he's had no problems as yet
I helped fit them, front wasn't too bad.. And the rear was absolute cake

Uhh true true, thanks. Yeahh, my front sags a little due to the whinch and bar, so i'll put smaller ones in the back to level it out.
