And they're probably the only part of a 120Y that hasn't rusted back to the earth from once it came :lol:

yes fat zook. Static heights.

A car on the road. Flat ground. No flexxing.

I have 1.6 swb vit rears, 2.0v6 lwb vit rears, and jimny rears here.

I am making spring top pearches with no body, ie, no weight. so i need an estimate height on where to put them.

This is for a sierra?

Thats going to be very hard to do, as the vierra and vitara weight are different.

Can you just tack the top coil buckets on and check with the body on and move up or down at a later date?

i can do that. But i want it close to begin with. :lol:

Thanks mattywall!

An estimate is all i need!

So the jimnys should be similar. They have less coils, but are higher sitting next to each other.laying on the ground. Lighter car also.
