front suspension low and handling question of the hilux suf

[nige2009]

Hi, the front suspension of my 3rd gen surf is very low. Is there a way to higher this, have I read something about a torsion bar you can adjust.

The springs seem really flat, should I renew them and the shocks.

Also the handling of my surf doesn't seem very good on the road. Is this normal for a surf? I've also read that the handling isn't that great with them????

Hi

The 3rd Gen surf doesnt have torsion bars, it has coil springs

the coil springs could be over-compressed, knackered
shocks may also be poor if handling is rough

Depends what you were driving before really. If you had a car (pretty much ANY car) then something like a Surf will feel a bit vague and wobbly. You get used to it.
