    Coil spacers ?

    Hi all , thinking of some coil spacers for the front of the 130 to even things up front to rear. Is there such a thing , what do they look like and do they go on top or underneath the coil ? cheers JamesB

    Coil spacers can be used, why dont you just upgrade your front springs though, a set of new Heavy Duty Coils would'nt cost too much and are easy to fit?

    coils about $200 a pair new, you could do heaos better second hand if you can find them.

    You can get Poly apacers for about $50 a pair, some places will try to charge you twice that. I reckon they are best on top of the spring

    They take the about same amount of work to fit

    Yeah, have fitted new coils allround but still sits down in front by approx one inch. I'm happy with the ride of the new coils so coil spacers may be the answer to even things up.

    Spacers to suit the front of an 80 Series TLC will fit the front of a 110/130/RRC/D1.

    Definetly put them on top of the spring, they are almost out of sight there and wont attract attention if you get pulled over for an inspection.
    I dont believe they're illegal but its best not to have the question asked.........

    I always thought the spacers went on the bottom and sat over the OE spring seat judging by the photo
