    i have khpr - 20sl in the rear, which apparently is the lowest king spring i could get for my non irs vp

    and today i changed my front springs from khpr - 22sl to khfr - 22ssl which i also got told i couldnt get anything lower from king spring.

    just tell em u want the lowest king spring coils they make. super low looks super high. haha really. i got a set of front super lows if u want em for $80. they are 1 month old. but theyre the second lowest. ill take a pic tomorrow for ya.

    it looks pretty neat now that i think of it. the rear springs are pretty low. i put my car on the hoist today at work and they fell out onto the floor lol. and the fronts i didnt even need a spring compressor as they were already that short.

    oh and make sure u get some decent shocks. i used monroe gt gas and my ride is hard and stiff. but it makes me feel like im constantly in a race. lol

    thems some crazy looking wheels! Not good or bad, just crazy! At least they're diffeent to everyone else! Looks like a very nice ride, I might add. Suspension is not high on my priority list at the moment though (but I would like to get it done!!!) - I have too many other problems!

    i have kings in the rear and pedders in the front. they're the next loxest of standard as at the time i just wanted to get nes suspension to try and keep it in the middle of the road.
    I can get my hands on a set of VN super lows (same as VL), is there anything else i need to do to put them in, i have new shocks and struts all round.

    you will need to get lower shocks for the back, recommend monroe gt gas, to keep the springs locked in,

    I started off with the bog standard FE2. That hit every thing (I now own a concave cat converter)!! I have a heavy duty tow hitch (after market but before me) so that took it for the team. At the back I now have munroe MGR gas risers which I can pump up when I load the car. I still run FE2 but I can now raise the back when I go bush.

    If your driveway is steep and especially if you have a tow bar or like your exaust pipe to stay attached, I would consider something like the gas risers to lift you out of trouble rather than land you in it.

    note when I say I can rasie the shocks, I do this at the servo. These are not the homeboy dancing car kind.
