[Synergie] Lower the rear suspension to level out the car?

Unread post by kenbw2 »

The floor of my Synergie is tilted upwards at the back, and the wheel arches are at different heights on the front and back. I assume this is to compensate for extra weight in the back.

How easily, and safely could I lower the suspension on the back to the same as the front?

I doubt you can if it has coil springs unless you can get some made, I used to deal with a firm called 'Wigan Road Springs' years ago when I was doing diesel conversions, don't know if they still exist.

OK those look mighty expensive! I was more thinking to lower the existing stuff, but maybe that's not possible.

What about spring assisters on the front to raise that end?

Didn't know they did stuff like that. Put a few bags of cement in the back.
