How much lean did it have ?

A GQ, with spare wheel, petrol tank, and driver all on one side, even though normally have a 25mm longer coil for the driver side, when on lpg, sometimes they have to be trimmed with a 15mm packer as well, to get them to sit square. [with many brands]

It had about an inch lean in the drivers side compared to the passengers. I never actually ran a spare wheel or even owned one until I went to sell the vehicle and only got one for roady, nor was the vehicle on gas or had a long range tank. In the end I put it down to a cheaper product.

Sounds like the coils were in back to front on the rear.

As for a cheaper product, for sure, they cost less, and designed and specced by the engineer who was an OME 17 year since inception engineer, with many of his coil designs still used today, and the material used is BHP wire, as per OME, and the coils are made to a very similar spec, exceeding other well known products.

The car was good for about year and then the rear drivers coil sagged. No springs were swapped or removed after being installed and remained in there the day i sold it. The springs on a GQ also have a different diameter front to rear and i think i remember the fronts have a tappered spring too from memory (car was sold over 6 months ago and I haven't owned a GQ since so i could be wrong and might be thinking of the 80 series on the tappered bit), so this would have noticable from day 1 (and during fitting) not 12 months later. The car was very level when the springs were first fitted as per photos.

The day the suspension was fitted.
