how much lift do gv springs give?

[DarkHorse]

On my 1.6 it was 85-90mm over original rooted gear.

Will I need extended brake lines with gv springs? And can I use my stock struts with the top mount flip? Is there anything else I need to do ?

I didn't need extended lines in the back, and I've gone OME plus spacers up front and my lines are still OK there as well, so you should be right.

Can't really advise about stock struts with GV springs, but the theory is sound, even if it doesn't really gain you much (flip just moves the range of travel down a bit, you don't get any more travel out of it.) Check for the strut bottoming/topping out when you've fitted everything.

Be prepared to get wheels aligned and maybe camber adjusted if necessary. Take it somewhere other than Pedders, they'll try to tell you everything else is rooted.

Otherwise have a read up on here, there's plenty of chat about how people have done it, what issues they ran into etc.

ok so i picked up some gv springs last night and went to put them in this morning.
The rear gv springs dont seat properly because one end of the coils Inside diameter is 65mm so they dont fit in the rear of my vit. And don't sen to give much if any lift
The front gv coils fit in the rear and give 60mm lift but are very stiff and don't flex so they are not ideal.

i was led to beleive from all my searching and comments that gv springs gave a 1.5''-2'' lift is this right? or am i missing something or are the coils i bought wrong?
help me
