08, GV2 Suspension lift

I recently lifted my 2.4 auto GV and thought I'd share my experience. I bought new 2" lift rear springs from Jimny Bits and new front springs from the local motor factors (oem because the old ones were tired). I also bought a set of 2" lift strut top spacers from Jimny Bits. The front anit...

Drying carpets
