I replaced my coils with heavy duty coils made by Spring and General in Witbank. I also asked them to add a 50mm lift on the coils. So far it is working very well and after about a year a cannot see any sag on the GQ :mytwocents: . If I remember correctly it cost me in the region of R3400 for the full set. Unfortunately I left the old coils at their shop.

Have a look at East Rand Springs in Boksburg. Good service I hear. I know he has done a few Patrol coils.

Hi Anton,

I have a set for you. It came out of my 4.8 GRX (2010). It only did 20 000km. Not too sure what price for it? Make me an offer!

Cheers,

Dawid.

Oom Mac, was daar enige modifikasies betrokke met die insit van die 4.8 coils op die GQ 4.2?

Dankie. Dolf

Dolf / Anton : Die 4.8 coils gaan netso in di eG Q in .. Angus het net daai rubbers wat saamkom uitgegooi. Meer geen mods nodig nie

Anton -- Oompie stel voor kry die shocks terwyl jy uithaal en insit [die manne wat OME en EFS en whatsamacallit ingesit het het waarskynlik nog die shocks ook.
Onthou net, met die 4.8 coil;s om nie regs en links verkeerde kante in te sit nie [anners loop jou kar skeef]

G Q loop ook bikki "harder" met die 4,8 se coils - so nuwe sjox sal help

[Jaaaa Arries -- ek KAN shocks spelle marik willi nie ] :oldtimer: :oldtimer:
