Most go SL front, SSL rear when looking for a level sill. If I go Kings, I'll be going KFFL-57/520 front (~345mm HTG) and KFRL-68SL rear (~355 HTG).

The front is plenty low... Its all level when driving but in park the rear is just a tad higher than front... I reckon ssl fronts is gonna be too low, I scrape enough as it is with sl...Mike...

I have plain old KFFL-57 upfront and KFRL-68SSL on the rear and, for me, it's plenty low enough. This combo is what King Springs recommend for the 'level sill' look - they do not officially do a 57SL (or 57SSL for that matter) for the BAs - I can't remember their reasoning, but it was enough to convince me not to put in the (AU) KFFL-57SL springs up front.Mind you, I'm not a fan of the 'dumped' look and, IMHO, the 68SSL application on the rear is getting a little close to too low for my liking - it settled a bit after a few weeks and it's now a tad lower than ideal for me (top of tyre is at least level with, if not a touch under, the guard). Front looks great. Be wary, when some people here say they have SL up front and SSL on the rear, I think they actually mean 'normal' on the front (the normal front and SSL rear combo that I have is marketed by King Springs as the 'Superlow' package for the BAs). Hope that helps. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/38313-got-some-springs/#findComment-575765 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a "little" lower but then the problem would be that the tyres would be behind the guard, and I and a lot of others here hate this look, so I have left it as SL and SSL kingspring combo.
