Hey guys,

I'm feeling the need more and more to raise my suspension. When I bought my car I underestimated how impractical it can be, especially now that my girlfriend lives in the sticks and I have to travel over pot holes and rocks and branches and stuff. It's a horrible feeling hearing everything get tossed up under the car.

Anyway - my question is quite simple.. I'm wondering if I can put the two rear springs in the front (as i kind of like that height) and then buy two slightly larger than what the rear ones were; and put them where the rear ones used to be..

I'm hoping to not have to buy extra springs if I don't need to, but if the front and rear are totally different then I get I can't do it.

Also what other implications might this have..i.e shockers and anything else etc..

Also, can someone give me what it might cost (new/used/labour) when they suggest an idea.

Thank you so much!

Andrew

no the front and rear are not interchangable.

You will need to find a set of standard springs if you want standard ride height, assuming yours has lowered springs.

If it has coilovers then its just a matter of winding the coilovers up.
