My springs arrived for the ute today...

KFFL-53SSLHD and FOR-801s for the rear

Only installed the fornt for now, lowered it about 15mm after a bit of driving, still hopeful that it will drop a bit more. king springs reckoned should lower 50mm on standard bf mk2 and 30mm on XR.

standard height was 365mm from gaurd to centre of wheel and rear is 395mm

well post up some after measurements once its settled in....

In the user manual it says when installing the strut the bottom of the spring faces forward on the lhs and to the rear on the rhs, is that lhs when looking from front of car or when sitting in car? the drivers side was facing the front when I took em out....confused

got the rears in today.....

front now is 345mm

rear 335mm

from top of guard to centre of wheel....

front is a little higher than the front now, kings reckon that's the lowest spring they make for the bf mk2...

rear feels good now, before it was very skatey feels solid now, fronts could be a bit stiffer

Hate to break it to you don't know if you've noticed but it looks like it might be a bit to low, it's ripped your front bar off!!
