Default Best springs for a 4x4 Saff.

Currently have Ahmed Bayhoo springs on my car, but think the back end is sitting too low, dont know if they come like this or it has 2wd springs on it, looking to change them but dont know what ones to go for?

Opinions welcomed

Cheers

Karl

Cheers for the reply Chris did you not think it was sitting low at the back when you put them on?

Kev mines sitting lower at back than the fronts, wonder if it because there track springs and not fast road. Fooking cossies!! there's always something

yeah when we fittted them i thought it looked low but it was the day before our trip to the ring so was going to look at it when we got back but it handled great on track so left it as it was.
just a real pain getting on and of the boat .

if you still have the car next year Karl and decide to sell drop me a pm one of the few cossies i have had other than my 26k mile 3 door that i regeret selling .
