hello all,
I need some advice/help with a certain issue with my springs ,
when i bought my fto is has very low springs so i got them streched at pedders for $300...ride is unsurprisingly smooth
and its been about 9 months and they are slowly going back down, i was wondering is there any higher aftermarket ones available ,i always see lowered springs but never one to increase height..
any suggestions on type of springs i could get... i dont want to look like a rally car but id do want a nice clearance as i live in the mountains with 1ft speed humps..haha
thanks in advance Rambo

damn pedos (pun intended)
went to them last week to get a wheel alignment done, they told me it will take 2 hours to align and will cost $200! i got the eff out of there as quick as i could ... went right next door to bob jane who did for me for $75 and took 20 minutes on it

Rambo, FYI I also have some stock vR springs (which I believe are firmer than the stock springs) on offer if you want them.
I'll even be up in the mountains for Easter so I could possibly drop them at your door if you are lucky

lol, dont try & steal my sale with bs.
The only difference between stock springs was on the prefacelift models, the springs in the Auto's were ever so slightly heavier than the manual springs - to compensate for the extra weight of the tip box.
From 97 on, they standardised the lot.

Lol.... Don't blame me, blame the poms. I read that on FTOOC....if my membership hadn't expired I would find you the guilty BS articles
Only reason I believed it is because I now have Tein S-techs which were meant to be very stiff and my old springs were firmer and more responsive - maybe they aren't stock even though they look it.
