Cheap fix for sagging front springs

[jamslau]

Hi people,
My coupe's springs are old & sagging lower, so the bumper scrapes ramps & my driveway. So I tried a cheap solution today. Spring buffers, RM38/pr. Added about 1" height, quick test showed no problems, similar characteristics to old springs.( don't expect springs to become lively again though)
DIY difficulty level 3/10

Are the buffers only for the front or can they be used for all four sides?

I only installed on my front springs to raise them. But the buffers come in many sizes,

You must jack up & measure the rear springs diameter & clearance & thickness to choose the right one. Bear in mind, it will raise the rear 1-1.5 inches too.

Can I just buy it from the shop and ask them to fix? The whole jacking up and measuring is gonna cause me angst.

Yes they have ppl to install for a fee, it should take 2 mins per piece.

Thanks for the info. So which shop do I go to for all this? Who do I contact?

I got see this in glory.

But glory does not fix the buffers. I would like to know where I can get help with the installation as well as I don't know the measurements for the buffers either.

I've installed buffers for my rear springs, size is C, coil inner diameter 1.5" , outer 2", thickness 0.25". I'm using it to raise the rear a bit to clear the side exhaust pipes.
(front springs replaced with new original, buffers removed because the new springs are higher now. Rear still old springs)
