For information, I fitted the Nissan Pathfinder rear raising springs to my 12 yesterday with complete success. Believe it or not, the stock Pathfinder ones weren't stiff enough so I went to heavy duty ones, which are stiff but still give an OK ride. Handling is much better, and because they are shorter in length, they only really compensate for the sag in the originals - they raised it 25mm from the 'sagged height'. BTW the wire is 15mm as against 12.4mm for the originals. The springs even seat perfectly in the seats, the top one being flat and the bottom matching the notch in the side of the seat. An easy 45 min. job. Oh, and I whacked some 25mm clear PVC pipe on the first coil each end like the originals.
Loaded it with concrete headers straight after - no more scraping!
They are Lovells Springs part no. DRR-83HD.
Done my bit for the Renault/Nissan collaboration.
