upgrading L series rear suspension????

vidler · Post by **vidler** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 12:44 pm

basically all who own an L series may have noticed that the back end appears to sag in comparison 2 the front. With my rear wheel carrier, fully sick sub woofers

(just being a dick), and anything in the boot, my car seems 2 sit a hell of a lot lower at the rear. My shocks are fairly new and i have king springs in allready.

My question is, is there any suggestions/ideas etc 2 resolve this problem other than putting larger lift blocks in the rear? Im chasing the L series equivalent to putting air shocks in an MY, and why cant we do that?

if it means modifying brackets 2 accomodate a pair of shocks then im up for it.

cheers. Jay

We do a mod were you ditch the top spacer bracket, we supply a 4" longer spring, longer strut assembly [KYB] $550 ready to bolt in - only for 2" lift kit cars in stock.
You get longer travel with out 'topping out'
Hopefully I get rich

Will your rear guards allow the extended rear uptravel? I'm not so sure.

Havnt hit yet, biggest advantage is no more 'Mr Topout' as with normal raised springs. This set up allows the car to keep grip off road so much better

The reason I ask is on my L-series I have 100mm shock extensions, King Springs . . . I had to get my guards cut to prevent contact off road with my 215s.

I have no problems - the horrid Monroe shocks jack up the ass. The rear end is a lot more solid since I got the Kings - but the dog box keeps flying open on me when I go over big bumps.
