hi everyone! i have a problem, i bought a car that is lowered and i am over it now. i am sick of driving so slowly and scraping on every surface i drive on and want to raise it back to where it is supposed to be but dont know where to start. i have a 2002 au3 forte but would not have a clue if it has IRS or not. i am a mother of two and dont want to get ripped by a retailer coz i dont know what i am talking about! any help? i have read the posts and it is too technical for me to look parts on the car when i dont know what they are haha. also if there is anyone in the south east of melbourne that wants to do a swap on original springs if thats possible i would consider it. is that possible?
anyway thanks for reading this and if anyone out there can help that would be great! |

IRS:

If it's a forte, then it won't be IRS. Looks like SR_AU (Daniel) is keen to swap springs with you and you are both in SE Melb. sweet

hi guys thanks heaps for the replies, i have to go to queensland for family reasons so i have got my car raised already just today! anyway i have been told by pedders that the suspension i had was stage 2 - i have gone to stage 1 which is apparently similar to xr6. i have got the springs that were on my car and looking to sell them for $200. if anyone is interested send me a message at mandasmits@hotmail.com or post a reply.
