So I'd image they would fill the wheel arches pretty good even with stock XR suspension height.Correct matching tyres for 20's are 245/30, within 1mm of the 19's .

Can setup height whatever suits your car/wheel combo and shocks to suit your roads or liking.Look I'm happy with the Lovells in terms of ride but the height was the issue. Finally got it spot on now at 345mm(335 was just too low) but it took fitting the superpro spacers to get it right though.That Kings SSL/SSSL combo with Bilsteins or Konis would work well on any car. The Bilsteins have 3 positions(centre being std) for the spring platform so there is some height adjustment available, around 6-8mm between grooves.

The best look 'static' isn't actually what it looks like when driving. Kings do not recommend running different spring combos front to back. They've designed their matched sets so the car behaves as intended. I get why people want to take some of the forward rake out but I don't want compromise handling / braking etc. Edited 22/07/12 08:52 AM by Bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook Donating Members 180 Member For: 16y 9m 2d Gender: Male Posted 23/07/12 04:06 AM Share Posted 23/07/12 04:06 AM I have the Eliminator shocks all round on my BF (same kit as FG I believe) and have been happy with them. I'm running Kings KFFL-57 (not sl's) on the front and removed the spring platform spacers to get the ride height I wanted. For the rear I'm using the Lovells springs atm - FRL-69SSL that came with the kit however find them a little too stiff (or maybe I'm just gettin old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 23/07/12 04:26 AM Share Posted 23/07/12 04:26 AM Teins are way stiffer than Kings.And don't be fooled. And adjustable damper is only that. The spring rate remains the same.The adjustment goes from choppy and fast to heavy and slow.If even 75% of your driving is suburban........The Teins will make you happy a lot less than a king/Koni set up.If you live in an 80k to 100k semi rural area. The Teins are great........I'm still out on the EDFC being anything more than a toy though. You kinda find a real nice setting and leave it there.

I suppose leaving the suspension standard would be good for that or at least adjustable koni's in the rear.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
