    Default Lower Springs in the rear on 20's ??

    Hey guys,

    I've got 20's on my VT and i know i have SL Kings in front and my mate told me he fitted SSL Ryder springs in the rear?
    (picture below)



    Few Q's:
    (1) Do you think the rear is as low as SSL Kings?
    (2) What springs will I need to to get the rear gaurd to be covering the whitewall?

    Thanks very much guys

    1) It's about the correct height for SSL.
    2) SSSL will get the guard covering the white walls.

    If you do go SSSL on the rear, i would swap out the front SL's for SSL's or as above you will look like your towing an invisible caravan.
    Having said that, you'll need to go for shortened shockers if you don't already have them, and the ride will be annoyingly rough at times. (Low profiles 20's and the height don't really mix well, talking from experience.)
    You can look at my car in the link below for an idea of the height.
