Increasing Height of my car

[Myfirstone]

I have an 99VT series 2 wagon, I saw the other day the adventra. Thinking could I raise my VT too.

Look I don't want to go four wheel driving, I just want to increase height because I'm to cheap to buy a Van or real 4x4 .

1) Can I fit the adventra springs to the VT ?

2) What is the usual ride height of the adventra?

Im certainly no expert, but in my opinion even if you are able to fit the springs/shocks, you'd still have clearance issues with the diff/gearbox/crossmember etc, not to mention that it would handle like a pig..

It would look stupid. Do you wish to be laughed at?

This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read.

You can get raised springs that will sit it 30mm above stock. King springs make them.

Well if you can do it , go ahead , its your car , but I tend to agree with tml678 , it would handle like pig , not sure how you would get on with a road worthy certificate either .

Yes, king springs make higher than standard springs, you may or may not need to change shocks/struts. Commodore has IRS on wagons I believe which means diff clearance will be raiswd as well, if it is a solid axle then no... it will still have clearance issues until you increase your rolling diameter of wheels and tyres.

settled , I'll buy a van.. So the suspension expert isn't a expert then . Don't go to Pedders guys. Just wanted to make a quick buck.

raised springs are usually for people who have things like duel fuel and extra weight in the back to compensate for to avoid bottoming out etc.
Or for towing.

Holden offered a country pack back in the day which I think was a little higher. You could look into buying the springs, they probably wouldn't be expensive. Add a cop spec sump guard and it would be good for country driving. Personally I think commodores on ultralows and 20s look more stupid, with their massive rear camber and inability to navigate driveways and speedbumps, but each to their own i guess.
