just a quick question, whats the lowest springs i can put on my ute and still be able to put stuff in the back nd not have any problems?

[azkwazere]

pffft, how longs a piece of string?

What "stuff"? how much of this "stuff"? and on what type of terrain will this "stuff" be travelling?

Id imagine, fomr totally guessing, that you'd get away with super lows, ultra lows no (SSSL) FEII, SL and SSL are likely to be your choices.

these are based on kings products only.

Spring manufacturers have to adhere to ADR's. When changing a spring, the car still has to retain factory load specs so most lowered springs give a harsher ride. It doesn't matter how low you go, the aftermarket springs will still have the same load rating as the factory springs. You will just compromise comfort for looks. The lower you go, the stiffer the ride will be.

not sure thats where he was heading, put it this way, my car NEVER used ot scrape on speed bumps, now with SSL's it hits most if not all of em... car of 4others and ****! there goes my exhaust....

I think he wants to know what he's gonna hit if he adds say 400kg of tools or something... which will effect things like scraping, bottoming out etc. Lowering a car effects humps, roadkill and potholes.

just put sl's on front and lows on back, will look nice and you can still use the tray with no worries

yer i got tools in the tray. nd occasionally a few heavier things like fridges. my main concern was the tyre rub on the wheel arch. and curbs, coz workin on work sites.

was thinkin of supers, like 2" drop at front and 1" at back or sumthing. wat prices wuld i be lookin at?

Springs alone are $120 pr for the front, $140 a pair for the rear. Are you able to do it yourself?
