jimmixr Donating Members 686 Member For: 14y 2m 30d Posted 20/03/12 01:02 PM Share Posted 20/03/12 01:02 PM I've got 338mm centre hub to guard with pedders 2994's. Have noticed also that the shocks get 'choppy' now.Most probably bouncing on your bump stops(front). Look at a lowered VE next time. They bounce in the rear allover the place.Are you running standard struts? Pretty sure anything aftermarket have shorter bumpstops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much sits spot on and rides nicely. On the FGs Lovells only have one choice up front and two at the rear, the super lows being lowest or you can opt for sport rears. Picture below is with camber set to 0.6 deg neg all round.Nice wheels and nice ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bump steer also can be rather aweful if going hard around corners with undulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going in on Friday to get sorted. Want 350mm hub to guard allround so am coming up 10-12mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 6m 7d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 02/07/12 10:30 AM Share Posted 02/07/12 10:30 AM How much sag (if any) have people noticed with kings after say 6 - 12 months?The reason I ask is that I've heard kings are prone to this and will most likely drop like 10mm over that period. I'm not really happy with my Pedders combo. The fronts even with the 10mm superpro spacers have settled at 345mm. Not too bad but the rears are too high at 350mm ® - 355mm (L). In king language, that's around sssl fronts and ssl rears = ghey! So, I either leave the fronts and stick a set of sssl in the rears or, pull them all out and go a set of ssl allround to get rid of some of the forward rake and get the gaps front to back even. Don't really like the 'fat bloke' in the back seat look the sssl rear, ssl front combo gives. That, and going lower in the rear will create more neg camber (without changing bushes) = less traction. Anyway, any advise on the sag (or not) would be helpful so I can make an informed decision. Cheers, Bomber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve (from Kings) told me that the SSL's would go in at 355 and settle at 350 after a few days. If they're dropping another 5-10mm from that after 6 - 12 months, that would get me around the height I'm chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
