Hi all,
I recently got an 01 EB that has been converted from air suspension to coilovers up front and springs in the rear. I'm looking for about 2 inches of lift and 34 or 35 inch tires mostly for looks, with some occasional offroading and towing. The rear is easy - I plan on installing coil spring spacers. The front is a little more tricky and where I need some help.
My coilovers are due for replacement, based on how low the front sits and how bouncy the ride is over bumps. I plan on replacing these once I figure out what I want to do (unless I end up swapping torsion bars and removing coilovers entirely).
I cranked down the OEM torsion keys but that only got me about an inch of lift, still with some forward rake. I learned that the cars equipped with air suspension came with weaker torsion bars. I am looking into sourcing a set of the stronger torsion bars from a non-air equipped car to swap to an OEM-style, non-air front suspension set up.
I am considering alternative solutions, including aftermarket torsion keys. Are aftermarket torsion keys compatible with my front coilover conversion + weaker torsion bars?
This would be a lot easier than finding and swapping torsion bars, but I'm unsure if the weaker torsion bars + coilovers will allow me to achieve what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance for any input you all might have.
