Hello

Quick question. I have a local company making some raised springs up for me, 1 inch lift and 25% harder - all for the same price of standard springs.

On my SF forester, I am running SG struts with SF springs on the rear. But have bought some near new SG fronts, which I am planning on fitting when I get these new springs.

The company says they have specs for making the springs, but before I ask them to go ahead I just want to be sure the car will sit right as it will have to be an updated SF rear spring they make and an updated SG spring for the front. Last thing I want is a car higher at the front than the back......

Does anyone know if SG standard springs are the same length as standard SF springs? If not then I wil have to pop a front shock out and measure it.

Cheers

Tim
 
Thanks Kevin

I think from those threads, I may need to get the rear sf springs made a quarter inch longer to match the SG front setup.

I will soon find out. Got a two week wait once I go ahead and then I will post some pics - good or bad, hopefully will sit level..

Cheers

Tim
