I have some from my 95 lwb vitara, they are 34cm long. When I bought the OME replacements they seemed to make a big deal about it being lwb so I assumed they are different from the 2 door, but I don't know.

Cheers

The springs are longer and/or harder rate in the Lwb...
meaning they will lift a swb if you swap the springs over

but if you put swb in a lwb they will lower it, or swb OME won't lift it as high

what longer springs have you got ice ?

icekayak · Post by **icekayak** » Sat Mar 31, 2007 9:48 pm

currently in mine:
Rear is outta a ?94 Honda Accord Wagon gives few inches of lift

Front is who knows what but gives a bit + coil spacers

But have got a few outta corollas/etc that give some lift too

do you feel the need to share?, I'm after both front and rear

have a look here... http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/viewtopic.php?t=54646

my suggestion is:
just look on trademe/wrecker/pick-a-part and ask every auction with springs for the measurements, then find one with about the right dimensions (diameter/height) and pick one that you like the sound of

try it in the zook, if it works keep it, if not sell it and buy some more

then do similar with the shocks till you find a setup that works for you

icekayak has the idea ,i am looking at some front springs out of a 2.2 vtec prelude that will be going into my scudo soonish and rears out of a c34 laurel for the back. i am spoilt though as my work shop is part of a wreckers , will post results when i do it.
