Suspender. Very much it would be desirable to reduce a car ground clearance. But from for rear suspension designs native absorbers did not allow to put short springs. Then beginnings a trial and error method to search for absorbers similar on fixture and is shorter than the native. It has appeared that the absorber from Toyota Land Cruiser on fastening will approach also it was as races more shortly on desired 3-4 centimetres! And as Toyota Land Cruiser means absorbers can hold more rigid springs more hard..

It is necessary to assemble all up to the end and there are problems with conducting.
