Hey all, ive been working on my supra recently, drove it onto some wood to jack it up as its to low, now the wood is about 2" thick which raised the front a bit, looks really cool with the front end a little higher, and would be much more practial for everyday driving.

 

Now, i have stock springs...can it be raised? or do i need to go aftermarket...really dont want to do that...extra £££ to spend

 

cheers, Kev

Michael always gives the best advice, though personally I'd screw the jumpers on as nails probably wouldn't get enough purchase in the rubber.

 

you lot have really lost the plot:blink:

:woot:Thats great advice to give mate!!

Don't raise the front, it'll look stupid and at high speeds it'll create lift, reduce steering input and thus become potentially dangerous. If your car won't go over most speed bumps as it is then it's too low, but as you're on stock springs that would suggest they are shagged, or you've fitted a silly front (or both!); remedy that rather than try to make the car look like it's mid drag-launch.

 

edit - If you still want to raise it up and have run out of jumpers/nails, fit adjustable springs and get them set up correctly so you don't create dangerous handling.

 

How's that for advice? :p
