    Default King Springs Quick Question

    Hi guys i am just looking for a quick answer here. I am currently in the market for King Springs Superlows all round in my VS V6 Ute. Just a whiddle bit confused about what part numbers i need. Because for the VG-VR V6 Ute its different to the VS V6 Ute. I am fairly sure that i need the KHPR-24SL+ for the rears, but what do i need for the front? Because Superlows for the front for the VG-VR V6 Ute are KHFL-47SL+ but the VS V6 Ute is KHFL-47SSL+ which are technically Ultras?

    http://www.kingsprings.com/catalogue...e%20040203.pdf

    Whats the reason for the differences on the front springs? I presume the King Springs Catalog Website above is correct but thought i would just check because according to that i need KHFL-47SSL+ which are Ultra's in the front and KHPR-24SL+ which are Superlow's in the rear. And this is meant to make the Ute Superlow all round so that it can still carry a load. Is this correct? Because the website makes it confusing since there is no listing for VS V6 Ute Ultralows, which means you only have one choice which are the Superlows but they are actually Ultra's?

    This is a VS Ute with Superlows all round and how i want my ute to look, so that it can also carry a bit of weight in the back if needed.



    Thanks and i hope the above makes sense
    Matt.

    The SL and SSL are just identifiers not what actual height they are. They are just a part number for reference.

    For example the VP V8 uses KHPR 22 as it's super low and there is no SL suffix.

    Oh, alright now i sorta get ya, so its just KHFL-47SSL+ and KHPR-24SL+, but those part numbers don't actually define the height they just suggest what spring for what model car?

    Exactly. People get confused with the SL, SSL and SSSL, thinking they are super low, super super low and ultra low.
