ScoobieLGT Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 So I just got my car a few weeks ago, and the previous owner did some work to it. There are Swift springs on the car and I'm pretty sure OEM struts. The car sits way lower than I want and I want to get it back to stock ride height. Need the cheapest/most reliable way though! I took it to a local shop and they gave me a quote on used OEM springs/struts. Are used springs/struts trustworthy? Or is there another way to go about getting the car raised in a somewhat cheap manner? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoobieLGT Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm not sure on the quality of the struts since those are stock and the springs are aftermarket. Any way I could check? I'm learning slowly but surely haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.blackgt. Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It would first help to post up your location on your profile. I have springs that I would give you, and that would settle your issue. You could then decide to just get new OEM springs/struts if you weren't happy. The springs are pretty easy to come by. Struts aren't too much, but you may want to look into some nice aftermarket setups that are comparable to the stock ride height of the LGT.

Drift Motion Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 most aftermarket struts are OEM replacements, therefore do not change the ride height, springs does unless you are talking about coilovers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobieLGT Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I misread that post I quoted. No coilovers, just want the springs. I have about in inch between the tire and the wheel well in the front, and in the back I don't even have half an inch. looking at 4" ground clearance currently.

dr_sharp Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Someone send me their stock springs, thanks. I have a FS thread already. But for you, I'll make a deal. $875 shipped lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to send a money order for significantly more than your asking price, but you can keep what's leftover. All I ask is that you send the springs immediately, mmmkay?

.Catalyst. Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I've also got a set of springs from my spec.B and I'm in Bend, OR. If you're interested in meeting 1/2 way I'd hook you up - no trade necessary as I have Swifts already, and you should be able to get about $200-225 for the Swifts if you want to sell them. Send me a PM if you're interested. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
