Lowering Springs

[jEtONiT]

althought at that stage they were fresh and hadnt set yet.. its a much different story now, the front is actualy lower than the back.

Yes SL and SSL Kings are the way to go. $400 supplied and fitted with a wheel alignment! Can't go wrong there

How the hell do you park it against gutters and enter steep driveways when you knock nearly 2 inches off the height?

The guy that fitted tyres to my stock T (17s) said he hadn't seen one yet without paint missing on the corners of the front air dam.

Mind you, the pics above really do make the cars look the business.....

I had Kings with my 19's and APS exhaust. Speedhumps were not always the best, however you take and give a little I suppose.

One thing no one has mentioned is you need to ensure you get the "Comfort Option" which will retain mmost of the quality of your standard ride.

It's in the coding of the springs something like KKFMSSL etc. I would highly recommend the comfort option as you also loose quality of ride when you go aftermarket wheels.

Carefully.

fellas

how do you go with the super low on the fron and the super super low on the rears, does it cause any issues with tyre wear etc.

I have been talking about getting springs done and I have been told that I need to fit adjusted shocks and a Camber Castor kit.

Does this sound right or should I just get the springs fitted?

This has been covered before, but I'll say it again (I know how hard it can sometimes be to find what you want using the search function!).

Basically, it differs from car to car - some cars will need the kit while others won't. I was told that I would 'probably' need the kit on the front if I was going with SSLs, but that the decision could be made either at the time of fitting or at a later date if money was an issue.

The better kits are quite pricey so it's probably best to see if you really need it first before going ahead. I was lucky and am able to get the front wheels aligned perfectly on SSLs without the need for a kit.

I could be wrong Buggy, but dont you have SLs on the front and SSLs on the back?

Sigh, your memory's far too good!!

Yeah, that's true, I do have that combo. But I think it's the lowest combo they make that's specifically targeted at the BA? Their catalogue doesn't list a SSL application for the front of the BA, but I think I recall some forum members saying that there is an SSL set for the front of an AU or something that can be fitted to the BA?

Either way, I wouldn't recommend going any lower than SL at the front, it's plenty low enough IMHO.
