Lowering a 4cyl vk

[vkkid]

Hey

I have a 1984 Vk commodore but its only a 4 cylinder. Im 17 and Haters gon hate but i love it and I can afford to run and insure it.

anyways
I want to lower it (60mm drop. Im buying new springs and getting them compressed but i am wondering am i able to use 6 cylinder springs in it? or are these to firm?

sorry im new to commodores and cant find any off the shelf lowering springs for 4 cylinders and the shops ive made inquiries in about buying springs haven't had a 4 cylinder VK in to lower before. So i thought id just see if anyone on here could give me any advice

Thanks heaps in advance for your help

Wait...what?

Why not just buy lowered springs?

[bogan_vk]

you could get your springs reset/compressed if you cant find any for a 4 cyl.

rear springs are the same but the front are different just get king springs for it and if the fronts too high just get em compressed.

Hmm, did they make a 4cyl VK? What does your vin say? Engine code? Are you from NZ or something (I think 4cyl commodores went to some export markets post-VH).

I reckon you find should track down springs suitable for a VC-VH 4cyl; they have basically the same suspension....

+1 Agreed, If not I'm sure you could use 6 cylinder spring just might be a bit stiff.

Ahh right, didn't see that, my apologies

Go some vh springs from a star fire?

Hey mate,

I am fairly certain VK's never came out in a four cyl?? I would check the compliance plates as it could be a VH done up to look like a VK but yeah I agree with Jonnoo grab some springs off a starfire....
Got any pic's :0)

Export VK's has starfires, we never saw them but NZ did.

Don't people read anymore......

Kings don't make Commodore 4 cylinder springs, but the starfire engine is a heavey little sucker, so the 6 cylinder ones should be fine.
