Sorry but at least you no the issueYou need kffl-57ssl. Not "53"Have no idea why they changed them and made the body longer but spring shorter after 07/07 Edited 10/05/14 08:43 PM by Dagabond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring numbers I got (via senna_t from wholesale suspension on here) are KFFL-57 fronts and KFRL-68SSLHD rears. HD rears are due to me loading the car up with work gear and also towing things. 17" stockies a couple months after the new suspension went in and settled:18" Typhoon + BrembosCentre of hub to touch the top of guard arch is about 320mm front and rear on my particular car, give or take 5mm last time I measured.

You have to buy springs by the build date not by the model of the vehicle. I had same issue, brought BF2 springs -53ssl and it sat on the jack, went back and got the -57ssl and it was all good.As said although you have a BF2 it has a BF1 front end and the springs height are vastly different. Those springs sack it out something awesome though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
