I think Harris put emu on his red van
Think they were lift springs bud and he destroyed a set. Mainly through stupidity (no offence Mike) though.

If the shippings sub 200 that may be worth it?

Sounds ok and their feedback is good mostly. Translates to "For an affordable price, we can offer this enhanced quality spring.

She has 4 spring layers and fits for all Suzuki above.

This makes it more stable and durable than the somewhat weak shaped version with 3 layers,

the sags faster."

I've been looking out for some decent priced front springs, I may give em a go when i have some spare dosh to fritter away on the SJ...

I got:

"It has 5 layers of feather (springs) and fits at all specified above Suzuki. thus, it is more stable and more durable than the weak scale version with 4 layers

Dunno what translation software you used but the '4' is written as a number not a word so how'd it translate it to 5? :S :cowboy::

Regarding jordis suggestion

I think old man emu do 1 inch lift as the lowest.
maybe worth a look, i think devon 4x4 are the only uk retailer.
