Which King Spring size equates to the next ride height down from a stock FE2 set up?

Vehicle is a V6 Sedan.

I advise that you email or contact King rather then ask here. King make them so they know best, send them an email

Dear Sir/Madame, are you at all suggesting that the kind members of this reputable and informative forum are full of shizen-schnapps of a non professional manner when delivering detailed mechanical advice?

I'm suggesting that the guys that make/sell thousands of springs a year have a better idea then blokes who might fit 4 springs a year.

I have King lows in my SS wagon & they're lower than FE2.

The depth of confusion in communicating with spring manufacturers and interpreting their data on websites.
Very little of that info is translatable into visual representations of what the product looks like.
By posting on here, I'm hoping to get a laymans interpretation of what I should be looking for.

So far, there have been answers that help me visualise the end result.
I tried LSD to help visualise but didn't get the answers I was seeking.

What does the HD indicate in the codes for each spring? Have seen it mentioned a few times.

HD means heavy duty, translates to higher spring rate.
