Hey guys,
I just purchased this 1998 4x4 54hp MPI, it was formally used by the Italian forest department in the region of lombardy.
The body is in beautiful condition, absolutely no rust, never been welded, I think it was only used in summer, no salty roads at all. :ymparty:
For Austrian technical inspection I have to replace some parts (exhaust, rubber bushings, etc.).
While doing that I want to give the front a small lift, since the front sits lower than the rear. Also the entire car is about 1cm lower on the left than on the read side (probably formally a fat driver ?). Front currently sits left at 37cm, right at 38cm and rear left 39,5cm and rear right at 40,5cm. So over all the front is about 2-3cm lower than the rear.
What would be the best way to lift the front without any other big modifications? I read about Skoda Felica springs, any good? I tried to find an answer to this question in this forum but its like 100 million threads regarding this topic. Google translation to german doesnt make it any easier. ~X(
What I found out so far: Strud spacers require more work, like driveshaft flange and so on. That's not what I want.
Another question: it needs new tires. Anyone experience with the "Radar Renegade Classic"? Is it any taller than stock tyres.
Thank you very much an best regards from Vienna!
