the front coils in my swb gq have sagged big time in the last year since i have put them in the back has held up well though. they are quite a heavy duty spring build wise so wouldnt mind getting the front reset. they dont even remail capitve anymore. ive heard that standard 80 series springs fit straight in the gq's giveing around a 3inch lift on the shortys is this true? just as a short term thing while i get springs reset.

Umm the front coils on a GQ wont fit in the rear...maybe why their not captive..unless i read this wrong And yes 80 series coils will fit the REAR..

Standard 80 series springs fit in the front giving 2" lift. Didnt think the rears fitted though mudbum?

I'd buy new springs instead of spending money on the old ones.

Think he means the front have sagged but the rears are ok

80 series springs will only fit the front of your GQ and 80 series shocks,gives you longer travel,

Theres fark all around though. I've been trying to keep an eye out for some on trademe after reading an old thread on here. Managed to find lifted coils for the 80 but no factory.

yea the springs ive put in are after market for a gq cant remember brand but are red in colour and were meant to give 65mm lift which they did but front have sagged and rear are still allgood. so want a replacement for front. the shocks ive got are raw 4x4. they seem good so far. just the front springs that are giving me greif.
