Are your shocks long enough and if they are maybe remove a leaf or 2.

yeah prolly remove a leaf - when you open the pack there should be one leaf thats mega arched, usually 1 or 2 up from teh bottom... take that one out as its the load leaf.
downside is you're going to lose that 2" of lift...

So did I...it's basically flat and really thick, would make sense if it was the load leaf

The very last one from memory is the one you want to remove... You loose about 1"0-15mm in ride height..
But becomes much nicer to ride in... Well much nicer compared to the current ride

I was told by a good suspension shop that its the leaf just above the load leaf (ie: the leaf second from the bottom) that you want to remove. The load leaf is pretty much flat and doesn't do anything until either you hit a big bump at high speed or load the car up...

sorry my mistake - i just always called the archiest one near the middle of the pack the load leaf.... either way - its the leaf one or two up from the bottom that has the biggest arc in it that you want to take out.

OK cos the very bottom one is out the flat one, and the shocks that are in there are the ones that i had in it when i had the spoa in it.

Has it affected the drivability of the zuk , if not leave it alone and get used to driving with the current setup , it will soften up and work better and you will still maintain your lift which is why you put them in the first place , the more bend in the spring , the less travel you will have , flatter springs will travel more as they flex both ways , Cheers Paul.
