Are they actually longer, or just stronger? Most 'lift' springs do this by being stronger and compressing less, rather than being longer.
They give the lift, but at the expense of a harder, harsher ride, and a noticeable lack of flexibility.
This is the only reason I don't use them. I think Lada got the spring rates right in the beginning, and would love to find a set of longer springs of the standard rating. Until then, I've got spacers fitted.
Regards,

I know nothing about ladas but those rear springs seem a bit hard. Holding 35mm with 200kg? Fronts might be ok but yeah beware the different rates. Could end up with a jacked up lada that flexes like a bulldozer.
Does stretching the stock springs work at all? I mean the things pretty light and it might work ok.
