I'll post this again...FALCON BA BF XR/FPV SERIES: Front - KFFL-57/520. Rear - KFRL-68SSL/310.FALCON BF MK II XR/FPV SERIES: Front - KFFL-53SSLHD. Rear - KFRL-68SSL/310.The above part numbers are for the low springs only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll make your car higher than stockAlso if anyone is wanting a set of SL King springs (front only) They'r in my ute atm but I'll be pulling them out pretty soon.SL's just aren't doing it for me SSL's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rear - KFRL-68SSL.Now look at the "low" listing for a BA/BF XR SERIES not the BF MkII is: Front - KFFL-57/520. Rear - KFRL-68SSL/310.Both the "low" and "super low" have SSL in the part numbers! I think this is what's causing the confusion (other than getting the correct car model). Everyone is all caught up on this SL or SSL stuff.Jman, I'd bet money that your front springs aren't KFFL-57 as you've posted. They're actually super lows for your model.I'd guess they are either KFFR-57 or KFFR-57H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have an RSPEC that you cannot screw real power out of because you want it to look low, which looks great but the front bumper wont after 6 mounths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont pay any attention to my signature pic.. They dont sit anywhere nearly that low.Theres approx 1inch gap between the top of my tire and the guard. - Ive got 19's mind you so it'll tend to sit higher than stock 17's.As for stiffness.. not super impressed with springs on the front end. I think a swaybar is what really makes these cars handle better. However stiffened up leafs at the back make sliding the ute SOOOO much more controlled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might whack some in depending how they look.Thanks Looks OK to me, but it's always a matter of opinion.I've kept the rear basically standard ride height; lowered cars have more of a tendency to break cv's, especially if you launch hard.My front is lowered, which makes it look more aggressive.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
