I used SL/SSL Kings too

I will probably go with the 19"inch not 20's

Hey mate, car looks great! :pinch:

If I was you I would drive it for a good 1000-1500kms before you do anything else to the springs. When I had my SL/SSL spring put in I thought that the back was a tad high to but after about a month of driving the car dropped another good 5mm. Also you might find that your car is sitting on its bump stops at the rear. Mine was and after I cut 1/3 of the bump stops its been all good!

Do a search for my past threads and there is a good one about the rear bump stops and the use of Kings SSL springs!

:glare:

I cut my bump stops in half so that shouldn't be a problem

It might pay to check with someone if your car will have its warranty honoured if something goes wrong with your car and you have cut the bump stops in half.

They are put there for a reason and Ford could probably get out of warranty claims quite easily, but not sure on that.

Its hard to tell in photos. Did you measure before and after. SSL should lower the car about 50mm. Like someone else said give it 1000ks and see how it goes.

The bumps are alright the ride is not too rough if anything its better then it used to be, but I have to be carefull when I enter my driveway or other places like drive-throughs and stuff where they have the steep entry

Sorry mate, had a big day. I was looking at your before shots only and thought that was you car lowered. The after shots look sweet. Sorry to stress you. :laughing:
