brett_xr6 Member 61 Member For: 16y 7m 10d Posted 24/07/09 10:48 AM Share Posted 24/07/09 10:48 AM Hi guys,Just had some King Springs (KFFL-57SSL & KFRL-68SSL) Ultra Low combination installed on my BF XR6. Now that they are on the car it seems that the front sits much lower than the rear and gives a raking look. Is this normal or will the rear settle in a few more days?I know most guys have their cars sitting flat, but does anyone actually go for the Raking look? I was reccomended to put the SSL on the front by Herrod Motorsport rather than the SL because I have an NA car which has less weight over the front wheels than a turbo or an 8.Cheers,Brett.

SSL all round. Forgot bout getting the springs off ya, but the shocks are still up for grabs! @ Brett. Mine has a slight "raking" look, but it has definitely grown on me. In regards to the SL, I'm pretty sure any kind of non standard height will kill the shocks eventually as they weren't engineered for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if SSL on front and rear is street legal in SA? Herrods did say that it would be ok Edited 24/07/09 12:15 PM by brett_xr6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
