Do llama do standard hight springs as I don't want lifted springs as I have to get bigger shocks longer brake lines and this will mean it is a modification so I can't do that

Llama will do any size spring you want. He has them made to order. The price isnt that bad either. Think I paid £500 for 4 springs, u bolts and delivery.

It's only really performance mods that boost the price (engine mods, carbs, exhausts) if you wanted to lift it you can always ask your insurance to quote before you do the work.

hi all

I've just put on a new set of japanese 4x4 spares rear springs like Dazerede, quess what, the same problem with mine, strange but also leaning lower on driver side. I've only done about 60 gentle road miles so far and already looking knackered.

when did you buy yours dazerede, I bought mine mid June 2013, maybe a bad batch but does seem something very wrong. they are already starting to bend over the end of middle spring and arching away from each other.
dazeree what has been the reply so far from jap 4x4 spares ?
