Our wheels actually raise the car so we need even lower springs.e.g. if I put 17/18's on my car with my low spring setup it would nearly be sitting on the ground.Just go and get ssl fited and then if you need it get them compressed, but I think ssl will be fine with 17/18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 2m 21d Gender: Male Posted 07/07/08 02:33 PM Author Share Posted 07/07/08 02:33 PM Thanks Guys. I think I might go SSL all roundso the fronts don't need to be compressed being that I want the front gaurds sitting at just a bit above the tyres..that's if SSL's come for the fronts?HEY XR06T.. isnt this picture of your car?how would you get it this low without compressing?and this is pretty much how I want my ride height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XR06T Silver Donating Members 4,146 Member For: 19y 4m 23d Gender: Male Posted 08/07/08 12:33 AM Share Posted 08/07/08 12:33 AM yea that's mine. be aware that I had to get the front raised 25mm since then, that was a little impractical to say the least. here is a pic now:the front passenger side sits about 10mm higher than the drivers so I still have a little work to do to get it right. im just goint to trim the rubber retainer thing at the top though to even it up. pretty sure that the company they came from custom make springs to whatever you want. it may be worth giving them a ring before you sign on the dotted line for the kings!http://www.k-mac.com.au/I bought them 2nd hand btw so I haven't actually dealt with the company before, and didn't see any part # on the springs. sorry I cant be of any more help. you will also need a camber kit. mine was shocking when I fitted the springs! aparently you can get it shimmed but I didn'f find out about this before I got the kit. no matter anyway, as they managed to wind 8.5 degrees castor into it!
