Question

Hi All,

All this talk of lowering suspensions!! I would like to keep mine from rubbing on the rear wheelarches!! it runs so low when towing!!

I have now located the coil springs on the rear - I didnt think I had ANY but, yes, I do!!

My question - has anyone on here put those rubber bumpstop things between the coils (they stop the rear coils compressing)?? and has it helped the dropping of the rear when towing??

Thanks in anticipation - BTW I dont want to fart about changing the rear suspension at all - for a Farmers vehicle it should tow without rubbing on the rear wheels dont you think??!!

Pete

I think you'd rather have an Outback or Forester
