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.

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.

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
