coil springs

[lexus22]

Few years ago had to change front coil springs as one had broken, and since then the front has always sat much higher than it should so thought would look into why.

The springs I used were Blueprint ADT388394 which have a length of 333mm. I have noticed that the ADT388395 have a shorter length of 312mm but are these just for the Sportscross and not the Saloon? I can't see why there would be any difference as both cars have the same engine..any thoughts?

Good question. I noticed my Sportcross has an odd-sized wheel arch gap on the o/s rear the other day, and wondered why. The shock has been replaced at some point, it's not OEM. So I have to wonder if they used the wrong spring. Are you saying the Sportcross has shorter springs than the saloon?

Interesting, they are different lengths for SX/Saloon - see attached.

That would explain my rear suspension oddity too!

Yeah, also the outer diameter is 2mm difference as well, would suggest firmer ride in the sportscross?

Perhaps it's set up with a higher load capacity? I'm reaching a bit here.

Could be, but those springs are about an inch lower than saloon which is interesting stuff, cheaper than coil overs.
