yeh thats what i was told but ended up going for 30mm front and rear as i figgerd that it would settle beter when i put a bar and winch on and it was good,even better when i put the winch and bar on.i already had a 1 inch OME lift.all works well get a heaps better ride and 2 extra inches.

Is any one on OL currently making 15mm front coil spacers for LWB vitara's?
Are suzisport ones as good as any other.

The lift ratio on the front of Vitaras is more like 1.75:1

I supply spring spacers for lots of different 4wds.
PM me if you need any more info.
I have been selling spacers for quite a few years. I run a business and manufacture polyurethane parts in Brisbane.

i put 15mm spacers on front and 30mm on the back of my 93 LWB and it sat level. I grabbed them on ebay for about $130ish for the set.

I would highly recommend Bruce, He did mine for my vit, shipped them down to victoria. Good price too (thanks bruce). I put 40mm in the back and 20mm in the front, probably would have put 30 mm up front in hindsight. I wacked them in and have had no dramas at all! And if you are planning on putting them in yourself, trust me and save yourself some stress and get some snap-ring pliers to slip the right drive shaft out at the front end to get enough droop to squeeze the spacer in, and have a few assorted jacks and a mate to help. But dont let that deter you, its a very easy job.
