Dear PW Experts,
I installed CNG in my Corolla 2010, along with 55 kg cylinder. Therefore i feel that my car has gone done from the back side and the back suspension are pressed downwards.
I usually drive alone therefore don't have much problem with that, but sometime when few more people sit then my rear bumper and mudflaps touch ground.
What should i do for that my car get little bit lifted without damaging my suspension and shock absorbers.

Use spacers on the rear springs. Any cng shop could fit them quite easily.

Spacer make your Car BumpYY..
after installing spacer your GLi behave as a HiRoof
simple not Install spacer..
Change of tyre is considerable ...

I dont think soo that space wil make ride bumpy,cuz in my XLI old shape spacers were present whn i purchased car,and after a week i removed spacers cuz my car already hav enough clearence, soo i havnt felt any noticable change in its ride, this is the only solution ,ur car wil remain stock.

I suggest you to replace your Springs with some stiff one.. I did same with my Corolla X..

members in Karachi can visit the suspension shop HERE these guys have solution to improve /restore/ level as in BETTER HEIGHT rear coil springs. adding spacers make ride hard. make sure when you take your car the CNG is FULL in the cylinder

Remove the CNG.
or use spacers and damage your car.
