I got front coils from Junk yard for close to nothing price ... :wink:
I had an impression the front coils were all the same for EF !!!
Was I wrong to assume they were all the same for EF !!!
I installed front coils and to my surprise I saw < 1/2 inch increase in clearance (fender to edge of rim)...
At that point I didn't touch the rears. Moreover, I found out that coils I got from RockAuto are too short for 4WD waggy :shock:
However I found a very cheap way to lift rear of 4WD waggy without changing coils/struts... :P
The problem is there is no way to bring up the front for the rear lift :(
I guess I keep searching!!!

    certain brands and such do it different, my problem is also that the rears are higher then the front.

    i have about 2 1/2 inches left of coil on the front but only like 1/2 inch on the rear to keep it even.

    I got it out of DX 4door .
    I guess waggy especially 4WD uses taller coils. As I saw it, rear springs 2-3 coils taller than the ones i got from RockAuto.
    I think I just keep this set-up.
    I tested it it doesn't bottom out as it was before, As for rears it feels good (needs a sway bar badly) . I just have to R+R trailing arm bushings... :wink:

    4WD does use taller coils. and the wagon has much taller ones in the rear altogether.

    i believe the 2WD fronts are the same as any ol' EF
