Confused Newbie!

My Surf has a rather saggy ass. However it seems higher than most other Surfs i see around? If it has had a lift then it shouldnt be sagging should it? Last owner had this baby for 100 thousand klicks. So it seem likely hes done something.

Can someone fix this headache


Shaun.

Sorry for the bad quality.

Might have body lift which will make it appear higher but may also have original saggy springs. Got a pic of springs? Are they a different colour than black?

So they look like they were yellow and the paint has started chipping away?
What do u think?

How could i tell if its had a body lift?

[NiftyNev]

Body lift will have some sort of blocks between body and chassis like this -

Those springs look sagged. Not much between the bump stop and the mounts.

Measure from bottom of rim to top of wheel arch front and back and post these measurements.

is this a really bad thing because it looks just like mine

Nah i think Surfs are pretty prone to saggy arses. Just means less ground clearance

What part of ole NZ are you in? So many of us kiwis have surfs but very few on this site, quite a shame really.

Looking a little saggy but trust me ive seen worse, also made to look a little higher as your side steps are removed and that makes them look a lot higher from the side
