Make spacers fo r the top of each spring seat and extend the sensors by the same amount (or corresponding amount).
-
I had (still am really) huge issues lifting mine. Wrong size spring sent, incomplete "kit" sent, dealer put them on the wrong way round etc :huh:
I now have a lifted front & bags at the rear, whilst a friend manufactures some spacers (as mentioned above :) )
Don't forget to get extended brake lines too, oh and the cars computer doesn't like it at all, kept coming up with fault codes, which only a dealer can switch off (permantely) :doh:
-
Once lifted I'm sure there will be a whole llist of things that need attention.
front castor
Rear propshaft pulsing (the front should already have the Cardan joint)
shocks
anti roll bar links to think of just a few
-
oh that makes me not want to do it at all. would there be a prob with lifting the front 2" and not the rear? apart from not being able to see over the bonnet at all! haha
Thanks

The back bumper will be dragging in the floor on all but the most modest bumps. the back end is what needs the most attention.
