Just Wondering what options i have for doing a sus lift for my 98 coily zook, I know efs and arb have suspension for a coily but i am wondering if there is any other options like for example patrol springs for an easy 4 inch lift. btw i have done a quick search and found nothing.

either get off the shelf kits or get one custom made. patrol springs and any springs off larger four wheel drives will be too stiff and feel terrible. also they will be too large to fit the spring seats. I didnt realise that arb or efs made them for coilys. must be a new thing. good luck.

arb and efs do not make anything for the coily.the last one i did i used jimny rear coils and i forget what shocks.the front is where i had to fab a new lower mount to lift it.ialso had to do a caster correction.

Most likely would have been rears.

If you've got some time to kill have a scratch around at a wreckers. You should be able to find a few small jap cars with suitable rear springs.

From memory SiKiD_01 has some info on this as he was swapping coils in the rear of his Vit, you wont be able to use exactly what he has becase of the different weights of Vit/Seirra but it will give you an indication of what will fit. Do a search under his name and you will probably find some info.

standard CRX rears give a good lift in the rear of a coily.

I am going to try making some 2006 hilux front coilover struts fit into my coily in the next few weeks. I will need new springs with a softer rate, but otherwise, they look like a fairly easy swap.
