Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hi all, i have vitara swb rear springs in my seirra coilly and they work pretty well, except i want to go about 40mm higher to match the front raise.

can anyone recommend a brand of vitara raise springs that are not real stiff???

I've never found any :(

If you want really soft use datsun sunny sedan rear springs... they're longer than standard Vitara and softer. I will chuck mine back in to give them a try now I'm using coil spacers as well.

You can buy 15mm or 30mm coil spacers for the Vitara too, so them plus stock rear vitara springs should be good.

Later LWB's and V6's all had longer coils than the Vitara but MUCH stiffer, Kings are too stiff etc.

If any aftermarket brand I'd say your best bet will be ARB.

try using honda crv rears. they will sit in existing seats. i have kings raised and they gave me 90mm of lift more than vitara raised. the kings lowered for crv still give more lift.

imlooking at 3 inch springs, how much will swb vit springs give.

wat is the best option im sort of confused on how to go about it

2" around about on swb vitara

jimny fronts also fit

so if i got 30mm raised vitara coils it would give me 3 inch lift.

wouldnt vitara coils be too hard fo a sierra.

Hmmm.... CRV Springs sound interesting.


Datto springs are in with the 30mm coil spacers on the back now. Shouldn't need to wire the springs in anymore so that's good. Lift is about 15-20mm more than the kings springs +2" were on their own.

Ride is good but they are a little soft in the vitara with the 31"s... the back end does seem to get a little looser with them in than the standards.

what year datsun sunny?

Dunno..... it was a sedan so we're probably talking about 80-82 model.

I dont remember it was 2 years ago and it was a case of trying whatever seemed to fit at the wreckers.

But it was datsun sunny 4 door sedan.
