Pretty simple innit. Currently have Monroe gt shockies in the rear and stock springs, thinking of getting ssl rears to even it up a bit.

not real sure, I know they come in a shortened version, might be time to have a chat with the suspension shop

Yep, the GT Sport ones are specifically for short springs made by King Springs and are "Strongly Recommended" when using SSL and lower springs.

I have the GT sport shocks and SSL springs all round. Makes the 19's fill the guards perfectly but I'm still not 100% sure I like it at this height. I can only assume that using the SSL springs with standard shocks would make the car sit higher than SSL springs+GT Shocks so it's probably gonna drop a bit from what it is now

Got any pics of this setup? I was thinking of doing the same on mine.

I am not too interested in running the SSL/SSSL combo.

Pics attached. Car is on a slight angle so the darker pics of the passenger side are more accurate in terms of ride height. I still have the mud flaps on and they scrape on practically every speed bump but with them removed will probably clear most normal road obstacles.
