Llama could supply standard springs.

With the 1inch lifts, would I still need extended shocks or just a new set of standard length ones?

Thats a reasonable price but. .

Id ring dave at llama, i have a set of his springs in stock height and they have been brilliant. But i do have a slight kink in a sencodary spring on the front, when i last spoke to him about it he was not dealing with the supplier anymore. But things change so may be wortha phone call.

Also look for local leaf spring repairers and manufacturers.
any old car specialists near by? They may know a place that could refurb your existing ones. Do you homework before spending the dosh, been there done that

Those maruti springs from jimny bits, as said before, we fitted a pair on my late friends sami with stock shackles and the rears
bent flat near the eyelet. And the sami was only sat
in the workshop. And whilst parked up they sagged but its possible he may have just had a faulty pair . They have been mention here before and i know a couple of members fitted them so maybe shoot them a pm asking if they still look okay.

They are genuine maruti/suzuki yes, but they are made in india
and that should give clues to the quality, theres always a reason that the prices are cheap. If you go on the maruti
site they offer engine rebuilds and exchanges! A bit like going on easyjet website and them offering to sell you a parachute as things will probably go wrong.

I know a few people here that have the maruti springs looking ok... but there is one who's fronts have bent flat.
Might be something to do with going spoa and leaving the anti roll bar on though

Just ring Dave at llama and see if they still supply them.

I have properly abused my springs and they are still fine.

Can't have abused them that much, I managed to snap the 2nd leaf on one of mine
