Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 5m 17d Posted 17/01/12 11:57 AM Share Posted 17/01/12 11:57 AM (edited) Simple request, Ive finally got some 20" rims for the Coon and want to lower it when I put them on. BF, 20x8 +30 fronts running 245/30/20 20x10 + 40 rears running 275/30/20. The combo is proven by Worm but I dont think I want my taxi that low. Not only cos the ride and the cops, but I have a small boat I tow with the car. As it is, at standard height the front bar can be a pain at the local shops and some driveways!!The car will get lowered monroe shocks at the same time.Im thinking SL front with SSL rear, but maybe SSSL rears are better. Sure I can measure the eyebrow heights for reference, but nothing like seeing pix.Anybody got any pix of the above combo (or similair) that they want to share? or a link to a relevant thread?Sorry for the request, Im sure its a common one, but please help me make a decision. Promise to post pix once done Edited 17/01/12 11:58 AM by Ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill find out tonight ill check out the invoice, really happy with the fitment. I did roll the guards for extra clearance anyways.....I actually wasnt ment to stretch the 245 tyres.... Its just that at the time when I purchased the wheels I didnt have money for new tyres... so I fitted what I already had, but it handles and hooks up so much better with the tyres streched im happy with it as it is. Now I understand why drifters do stretch the tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 5m 17d Posted 22/01/12 05:18 AM Author Share Posted 22/01/12 05:18 AM Ok, so the 20's are on, perfect fitment thanx to consulting with Worm, but I now need a step ladder to climb in.After measuring my eye brow heights, I get 360 front and back, but the car has about a 1" rake to the front.Itd like the back about 1.5" lower, and bring the front down the tiniest bit, so the rake doesnt get too much worse, thinking of aiming for a 350 ish front eyebrow and a 330 ish rear eyebrow.Am I on the right track if I got KFFL-57SL+(supers) for the fronts and KFFL-68SSSL+(ultras) for the rears or just KFFL-68SSL for the rears (supers all round)Carn guys, seems only one person here is listening!!! Promise Il post pix once its lowered so for others to refrence!!Also, fads, you speak of SSL fronts, Kings dont list them in their catalogue?http://www.kingsprings.com/catalogue/Kings%20Superlow%20Caralogue%20040203.pdfany chance of a eyebrow height check on your beast?

Its dropped it about 10 but it says it will drop more within a few days so I will give you update during the week. It does look better though.

Ale Member 249 Member For: 13y 5m 17d Posted 23/01/12 03:24 AM Author Share Posted 23/01/12 03:24 AM (edited) yeh, cheers man, did you change the rear bumpstops out? I believe even with SSL rears the standard bump stops need changing or chopping. This may drop it some moreI took the plunge this morning anyway and ordered SL fronts (super low) and SSSL (ultra low) rears.It has a 1" rake atm sill panel wise, so this combo fits the bill. If Id gone Super low all round id still be rolling on a rake and I cant have that.This way it will drop the whole car a bit and even the rake out a bit, 275/30 rears are a tad taller than the 245/30 fronts and make it look worse than the factory rake allready does.Im actually queitly chuffed about the ride on 20's and cheap rubber, its pretty good, only a tad noisy on some roads.
