    Default whats the go with king springs

    i just bought some ultra lows for my vn, i already had super lows all round, just wanted it to sit more level, so i thought ultra's would be nice, but i put them in and there was no change what so ever, pretty much just got ripped off, is it my car? or the springs? this happen to anyone else? what should i do to lower the back more? not happy at all.

    SSSL is Ultra Low. SSL is Super Low. SL are Lows..

    FAT.36L You have Ultras in the rear and Lows in the front.

    you could be right but i'm pretty sure people just say super lows instead of super super lows.. On the KS Website ultra lows are SSSL And Supers Are SSL. So i'm just guessing that SL is just Low..

    Ultra is SSSL low, all spring are different so if you run king SSL and fit pedder SSL the ride height will be different.

    some super lows are legal and im pretty sure all SSSL are illegal

    interesting they make SSSL if there illegal considering how easy it is to pass the buck from a legal stand point

    They would sell them if they were legal or not, because people could use them in cars that don't go on the road, such as drag cars or circuit cars. I do believe the salesmen has to tell the purchaser that they are not road legal though.

    l = lows, sl = super lows, ssl= ultra lows and sssl are super ultra lows. they dont have sssl in the catalog vp-vz irs only for ves. you have to be lucky to get them without knowing someone because they're illegal

    its hard to say if the certain type of spring is legal or not, it really depends on the car, ultra lows on one vn could sit at 100mm, and that same spring in a another vn could sit 90mm, really depends on the car, like mine, the super lows dropped it max (about 2 inchs i think?) but the ultras did **** all, haha

    Ultralows aren't a grey area at all. They may sit 100mm from the ground at the lowest point at the back, but there's no way in hell they retain 2/3 of original suspension travel
