hey frank,
in your discussions regarding you sas conversion, you mentioned that gq rear coil springs go straight in to the rear of the paj.
my question is- are gu rear coils the same as gq and what is the standard uncompressed length of coil on a diesel nl rear?
a friend has std rear coils from a 2.8td gu going spare. wondered if they were longer than std paj rears (cheap upgrade?).

Try it and let us know.

I'm sure he won't charge you just to give it a go.

:D

I asked Cheezy today and he said the standard height GQ/GU rear coils would give around a 2" lift in his opinion but a stiffer ride as the springs are thicker.
