    Default Vs statesman lowering springs questions

    I recently put in a set of kings springs that came out of another VS super 6 statesman into mine ,(they dont have a part number ) However they barely made any difference to the height at all maybe a 15mm but they dropped the other statesman by an inch and half or more.
    I put this down to my nolethane strut tops make it sit higher ,Now I was wondering how to drop the back down by about an inch ? as the rear sits higher and it already has a set of lovell springs in the (again no part number)

    I was told you can do this by removing the spring insulator but I not keen on this idea or would it be better to get a set of super low rear king springs to match the front?

    Here a picture of the fronts just in case anyone reconizes them

    That part number is standard height. Sorry, can't help you as to why the replacement springs lowered the other car more than yours. Every car is different though, maybe give it a week or so and see if it settles.
