Hey just wondering if these spacers will fit my 93' Vitara SWB
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/POLY-ADD-ON-COIL ... 588320d431
''To be used with existing spring insulators. Fit above spring insulator and body and replace existing spacer on top. Due to the way the suspension is set up in the front the 15mm spacer raises the vehicle by 30mm''
Why would the front be lifted up 30mm with only a 15mm spacer?

the coil is mounted about 1/2 along the wishbone, adding the 15mm spacer at the spring will lift the hub by about 30mm.

Wishbone, I'm not sure what you mean by wishbone. Do you think these will fit?

If you have a LWB I have found that 30mm all round work the best

then stick with the 15's and 30's the 15's will lift it about 22-24mm on the front

Yes that is true but I use premium grade poly and give a 3 year unconditional guarantee.
I can surely manufacture a base grade spacer which I know other companies manufacture.Then I could sell them a lot cheaper but we made the decision to only use the best material available so yep we are a little more $$$ than some ebay stores etc.
I have seen about 2 manufactures selling poly parts for about my cost and guess what, they are no longer around.
I guess it's all about what people want for their $$.
