GQ Coil Spacers

After any pros and cons for coil spacer install.
Have a 2 inch lift but when the car is loaded for a trip the rear sits a little lower than I would like.
Am guessing about 15 - 20mm spacers may do the trick
Any comments/help

Thanks

i had 30 mm spacers in the rear of my GQ wagon for that exact reason.
be aware that you have to take out the rubber spacer to fit the poly spacers so make allowance for the 5mm loss from that.

never had a problem with the spacers falling out even when i broke the rear spring mounts and the springs were bent over at an angle.

:D

Why not look at some Poly Airs?? if its only for when your loading the thing up, just pump em up. they work gr8.

i got some polyairs sitting in the shed, one of the hoses must be blocked though, might source a new hose and put em in.

what would they be worth to sell to someone?

they were in my SWB GQ

you can buy the Nissan coil spacers for the rear in 15mm and 30mm sizes only. very easy to fit about a 20 min job. All you need is a jack, and 12mm, or 14mm spanner and 17mm or 19mm spanner depending on which model Nissan you have.

Cheers, Andrew

Hottie, with the poly airs if you aint going to tow heavy loads I wouldnt bother. Unless you decide to do a big trip and the arse sags.
Also when they are pumped up to carry a load they reduce flex (and since you like to drive onto rocks/tree's etc for piccy's - it would be a waste of time).
