    Default King springs questions.

    I have super low king springs on the front, and super low compressed at the back. my car sits at about 90mm at the lowest point which is the pipes going from my cat to extractors, so thats at the front.

    Im planning on just changing the front ones to get to up about 20mm or so, which springs should I get to do this, or just get stock ones?

    Low King Springs (SL) should get you the 20mm. Also Fe2's would work aswell.

    Stock ones will make the car look like a lowrider high at the front low at the back.

    A few people on here have SL fronts and SSL rears so it does work and looks alright.

    Put blocks under car > heat springs up > car sinks down to height of blocks > spring rate and integrity of metal ruined.
    In short, don't do it.

    Yeah I might swap my super lows for lows or just normal king springs.

    Replace the rear springs with proper lowered ones. Get rid of the backyard chop shop compressed springs as they are shit, dangerous and illegal.

    Well it will be if you go FE2 because FE2 = standard SS springs (some HSV's and probably Calais as well) and people will probably give them to you for 20 bucks.
