Rear springs for 5D sidekick?
« on: March 12, 2008, 01:05:22 PM »
Anyone got any alternative springs that gives some lift to a 5door?

I'm building a -93 5door vitara, I've got a spare part one with a 2" calmini kit, that will be slightly modified to about 3"

But the rear springs are shot and I need something that will net at least 2" of lift in the rear. Aftermarket parts are non existant over here, so I'm looking for springs out of other vehicles.

Yes there is one, but it will be cheaper to just buy a complete lift spring set sadly.

No auto recyclers ?  If you can head out to a recycler and start looking I don't know what you have for suv over there but maybe like a nissan gu patrol or a rover d90

good luck
