Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 9m 17d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 17/05/08 12:52 PM Share Posted 17/05/08 12:52 PM Hey guys,I think the part numbers are confusing you a little...The springs I have (the car in that link) are the low springs front and rear. They are not the super lows, even though the part number has SSL in it.I'm happy with it. It brought the front down a little and the rear down a fair bit more to level, or close enough to it.If you want super lows (I think you're mad if you do) you'll need to ring King Springs as there's no super low catalogue listing for the BF MkII.

But he said it would be the same height as a standard typhoon.I think yours is low enough though, alot lower than mine lol. With 19's and a phoon kit it will be low enough until I get 20's, then I can compress the springs if need be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 19y 9m 9d Location: Canberra Posted 20/05/08 01:35 AM Share Posted 20/05/08 01:35 AM The F6 above looked low enough to my eye, but I guess we all have different tastes (or it could have been the angle of the photo). Like most others here, I went for the 'level sill' effect by using KFFL-57 and KFRL-68SSL King Springs front and rear respectively. The front looks good, but the rear has settled too much for my liking (the top of the tyre is just beginning to disappear under the guard - and I'm not a fan of the 'dumped' look). This spring combo is what King Springs recommended in their catalogue for XR series cars (the current catalogue has changed part number names a little).They also recommended using KFRL-68SL springs on the rear of non-XRs, and in hindsight I think this would have been the best option for me. The SSLs meant I had to cut off some of my bump stop, which indicates to me that it's too low. I may well remove my SSLs and replace them with SLs in the near future - this will still be lower than normal XR height with a firmer spring rate to boot, but not as low as it currently is.

Why's that? Were you wanting to say something about R Specs not being worth the extra coin or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't buying the car for the suspension lol. I want it to sit abit lower than standard as the gap between rim and guard is was too big imo, sorry but I'm doing what I want to do to the car so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
