  • 80 series landcruiser coils for Prado front?

    I'm looking at levelling out the front of my Prado (sits slightly lower than the rear) and wonder if anyone has tried using 80 series coils on the front of the Prado?

    I read a few posts where the 80 series coils have been used in the rear to achieve more travel, but nothing about the front.

    I've also asked Snake Racing if I could use a strut spacer for the front, but was told that strut spacers are for OEM struts only and they do not recommend using these spacers on any lifted suspension at all (mine is lifted 35mm) as the CV angles will be too sharp.

    Anyone have any opinions?

    Listen to what they said re: CV angles.
    That's the reason you can't get any lifts (easily) for IFS over 50mm.

      Cheers...is there then an easier way to level the front of the Prado so that the nose down is not so obvious?

        The coils are different, the coils in the front of the Prado are wound tighter than the 80 series and are higher in there rate compared to 80 series.

          Maybe coil overs from another vehicle, 200 series maybe?

          You could try height ajustable Billie shocks.

            I think that will be like putting 120 series front shocks into a 90, the 120 shock is about 50-60mm longer, you will loose alot of downward travel and have a terrible ride. The 90 series spring is a higher rate spring over the 120 as well.

              arb and ironman do adjustable struts for a 120 where you place a steel collar under the bottom spring retainer to trim the front end up, i think the arb spacers are about 5mm thick and the ironman spacers come in 10mm and 16mm, these will give you around double the lift, im not sure if they make them for a 90 series, give, local arb a ring or send darren mcrea from autocraft a pm on here, he will be able to answer ya question. cheers samo
