i never noticed that in my previous and current lc 80,, cant tell about others,, but u can easily feel the bad suspension upon test drive,, pls enquire market prices for lc 80 coil springs as they wont be cheap. and plz plz get a lab test before buying either a private owned or custom auctioned vehicle, i was once about to buy a custom auctioned cruiser for very cheap price( it was 92 model lexus in 80 series shape, black colour, islambad registered, wooden interior, 7 leather seats, sunroof, cool box and many more for just 11 lacs), but inspite the fact it was custom auctioned its chasis number was found tempered, thnx to ALLAH i did that step before the final payment.
