Xrt Lowering With Kings

[rb3007]

Hey,

just ordered some springs. KFFL-57SL and KFRL-68SSL. will these send my shocks through the bonnet? and where is a good place to get a camber kit fitted for a decent price.

Thanks guys

You dont need them but they are a good idea as your original shocks will wear out even quicker with lowered springs.

Mate I just replaced springs and shocks on my BF II. I didnt get lowered as I want to keep the stock look.

But I got King Springs (not sure of part numbers) and matched them with Bilsteins shocks.

I previously had an AU III which had Kings on them, only 50mm lower, and I didnt match the shocks.

Mate the difference is incredible. The issue (this is my take) is the rebound damping. The springs will be stiffer and of course you hit a bump and your car will nearly bounce you out of it (exageration but close to the point). With the right shocks I get a stiffer ride but I dont bounce all over the show like in the AU.

As far as wear goes, I wouldnt know as the ex wife has the car now (I laugh every time I see her bouncing down the road).

But seriously, I had the sways done, then the shocks and springs and apart from the bloody knock in the rear (probably control arms) the thing handles like I want it too.

Hope that helps.

By the way, the man to ask is senna_t on here. He is da man!!
