Q for terra.... springs

[extreme-4x4]

ok i fitted some t2 lwb standard springs on a swb fronterra they fit fine and have given me a 1 inch lift on the back

so im i right in thinking if i fit some of your lwb + 2" + 20 i will get a further 2" lift

i have room for a further 2" lift.... just wondering if your springs will give me the big lift


thanks in advance extreme

and the front is there room on the tortion bar to go up as well??

[extreme-4x4]

can get 4-5 inches on the front off the torsion bars

Can you measure me the fitted (compressed) length of the std LWB T2 springs on the Frontera and I'll do the maths and work it out - might not be exactly 2" but should be thereabouts - very interesting though as a mate of mine has been asking about Fronty springs was for LWB though - lots of complications with fronties different series to worry about and stuff T2 is easy same suspension from first to last.

compressed on the truck they measure 290mm or 11.5 inches

thats the lwb t2 springs on fitted to the fronterra

ok got Amy to et fed and to bed now will do calcs a bit later on

[Terranosaurus]

Based on your measurements and my calcs they should give 2.4" additional lift over Std LWB T2 springs ie a SWB fronty is lighter at the rear than a LWB T2.

What age/series/marque/whatever of frontera is this on please?

2 litre petrol swb A series on a p plate
same engine as the cavalier so they tell me


ok next question is do you have any and how much,
if you have we will have some , and let you know how they go
might be another way of selling your springs if they work on frontera 's too

[Terranosaurus]

I've got one pair left - will order some new ones shortly.

Do you want to check that yoiu an get the front end lif first - just ben reading and fro what I gather thats too far for just winding up like it is on the Terranos, only the geometry goes even further out.

[extreme-4x4]

we have the front up 3 inches already its driving ok. albeit low on the back for now
but yes it should work

whats the best price you can do

[Terranosaurus]

£75 per pair +£12 P&P - as per the thread.

I've a feeling that the next batch are going to cost me more than that, certainly the SWB+2" that I first reordered went up plenty. I sell the LWB ones on ebay £80 starting and £87.99 BIN.

[extreme-4x4]

and thats the lwb +2" + 20

[Terranosaurus]

and thats the lwb +2" + 20

Yep - only do the LWB in +2" +20%.

After that I only have stock of the SWB +2" +20% at the moment - stillno word on the shocks, they have left the factory in the states are and somewhere in transit.
