vitara rear spring length

[i_am_me]

i have a problem on my vit,one of the rear springs appears to have sagged down about 50mm.
i need to know the length of a vitara rear spring compressed on flat ground as i need to check if i have stock springs or if one has been swapped to a gv spring.

its a swb soft top 1.6 16v if that makes any difference.

does anyone have any ideas about this.
i want to replace the spring thats sagging but i need to know what spring to replace it with

Sorry I can't help with the length but I would think its probably better to replace the pair so that you know you have a matching set.

i was going to but if they are gv springs i need to know so i can replace them with the same springs.
but if they are stock and i swap to gv springs then truck wont sit right.

im just trying to find out which springs i need

[vitara_mad]

if you remove a spring & measure it i will measure a standard vit spring to compare size

i dont have a standard vit with standard springs to measure on the vehicle with spring compressed

i will try when i get chance but i am using it reguarly since it is my only transport at the moment

i would appreciate the measurements though,thanks for your help

do you think they will give me good articulation as it doesnt say if they are for a swb or lwb.
