Has 19" rims but the guards are huge. Looked on king springs but couldn't find the rears and wondering if they just reset them. If they rest them what exactly is it they do ?

Read there was some issues that was either fixed or may have only affected the 6 speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kings is a better option but there is nothing wrong with getting yours reset as well. I have not had an issue with the diff, although the turbo has a different diff to the NA from memory?

I had read there had been a issue with the diff after lowering but king may have changed how they do the spring. Also may have been earlier model car and ford resolved the issue.

Kings ended up changing the design to a reverse eye end, this means that the leaf can have more curve for the same height (or 'low-ness') The flatter the leaf, the more prone it is to tramp under acceleration Repeated hard tramping can break CV's There are plenty of threads on here about it Edit: couple below Edited 27/12/16 04:05 AM by camo86T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
