T25 Suspension lift

Post by Bugboyfox »

Can anyone help me out? I would like to lift the suspension on my 2wd T25, but have been told that syncro bits won't work as the springs on a syncro are actually shorter!
Does anyone know of a lift kit, or will I have to fabricate some spacers for the springs?
Thanks for your help
Dave

the springs have the same part numbers in ETKA, are you actually trying to increase the ride height or are you carrying lot of weight and the old girls sitting a bit low?

I'm trying to increase the ride height. I know it's never going to be as tall as a Syncro, but I would like to fit 15" steels with off road tyres to give it the Syncro look. The sensible ones among you will be thinking "Sell it and buy a Syncro then!" But I'm kind of attached to my van, and more importantly I can't afford a Syncro right now.

Syncro rear spring are longer and can be forced in place but will bottom out ure dampers and drive shafts(to short)The front on a syncro are shorter so wont do.
Henning at syncro services(Germany) do a front and rear spacer kit that may do u.
