    Default Spring question

    Atm ive got 17"rims with 45/235 tyres i wanted to get king ssl springs but i am wondering if it will look too low? I dont wanna look like some bogan who has done a home job on his springs and be "rydn drty".

    235/45/R17?
    it will be low, but not hectic low. i have SSL's now an they look good, will have to be a bit careful with speedhumps and shit but most in mandurah are fine, just pulling out of coles meadow springs can be a chore.
    will sit roughly just above the tyre on the front, and tuck them on the rear i reckon. I have 20s and on the rear on flat ground and a full tank and the guard sits flush with the rim.


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    easiest way, walk out to your car with a tape measure, kings SSL's are rated to drop it 3 inches lower then what it is now. from the guards.
    obviously there are variables but thats a rough way to see.


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    yeah they are a pretty good height, high enough you can still drive it but low enough that you dont feel you wasted your money
