Hi,

The car presently has original front suspension which is too low as we use the 850 for heavy loads. We need to raise the front suspension can anyone advise us to what I need to buy for the front. We have already put koni shocks and heavy duty springs on the rear.

Many thanks

Lynn

You kind of bought the wrong car for heavy loads. the R generally have lowered suspension to make use of the power to hug the road. you can go with the stock GLT suspension which would raise the vehicle about an inch +/- but that would defeat the purpose of the R.
