Hi Guys n Gals

It's been a while since I've post on here. I now have a 2002 GV 4 door and just installed EFS springs and shocks all around. The back install took about 45 minutes but the front was a nightmare 6 hour install. As per the instructions with the struts I didn't tighten any bolts until it was on the ground.

The front springs supplied are SUZ-105E which is correctly supplied. I assume the front struts are correct as per the invoiced number but they came in two totally different boxes with the correct number over another number, the struts themselves only have 74001 and 74002 stamped on them and the numbers on the invoice is 38-5628 (r) and 38-5629 (l).

Now the problem, the front is sitting a lot higher than the back, according to the rep I spoke to at EFS about 40mm to high. 54 cm centre hub to top of the gaurd and I have about 3.5° of positive camber.

Any suggestions?

See if they settle. They could be springs designed for a winch bar so sit a little higher without the weight. 40mm does seem excessive though. Struts will not give any height, only springs

Going to take a lot of settling to settle these springs down. Spent about 90 minutes on the phone with a very helpful guy at EFS who said it wasn't right and he's going to send me a new set of springs.
