| Post subject: | coily lift question |
hey guys i just installed the ebay 40mm suspension lift in my coily. i measured the distance between the top of the rim and the wheel arch. the fronts were both the same at 260mm. however the rears werent the same. one was 265mm, and the other 290mm. is it normal for this to happen when fresh springs are installed. like does it take a bit of time for them to settle in? Also im doing the body lift soon. is it fairly straight forward? do i need to worry about brake lines and the fuel filler? any help will be appreciated, cheers, dan |

the drives side will always sit a fraction higher to accomidate the wait of the driver. also good be a bent coil seat or something along that line. but normally the drives side will sit a fraction higher on any car. well aslong as u put the tallest coil out of the to on the drivers side, and there both up the right way |

An inch on one corner is probably more than a fraction higher... Especially when its a rear and the drivier (usually) sits in the front... |

well drive in most swb sits closer to the rear wheels. but that could be right. like i said there is alot of different reasons to why this is. |

SPRINGS: I don't think that is normal - are you sure the spring is seated properly? The spring rate is different for each side, but the heights are the same - you would have noticed the stock springs have a different number of coils on each side for example, but they sit at the same height... BRAKE LINES: Unless you are dodgy, the front passenger side brake line will need work by a brake shop, otherwise it will be too short. You can pull the steel line through the guard but it doesn't look good. All the other lines will be ok, as they mount from the chassis - just unbolt the mounting bracket holding the 2 flexible lines on the chassis under the brake booster. After the BL, you can re-bolt in the lifted position using just 1 of the mounting bolts. |

Does this mean that you did the body lift on your coily without lengthening the front passenger side brake hose? |

No, just try put something on it to protect it a little from rubbing |
