Lowered Springs

[jokerflingo]

Hey guys just a quick question, a mate of mine finally got round to helping me install my King Spring Superlows in my VS Ute.

Now i have adjusted my panhard bar so that its even and am looking at getting a wheel alignment this week.

I just thought i would ask about the load sensing valve and if and how it needs to be adjusted? Because the rear is obviously lower does that mean it thinks that there is a half a tonne of weight in the back and the rear brakes will be vulnerable to locking up in the wet possibly?

Thanks
Matt.

Bump anyone that has lowered a VR/VS Ute?

that valve needs adjusting, easy as job, i think its just like a nut that needs rotating but i cant remember that well. when you get under and have a look of it, it should be fairly straightforward how it works, and the adjuster is easy to get at.

the brake bias will be way different than with standard springs, so do it asap.

Thats what i was confused about, do i just adjust again to what it says in the manual which is between 116 and 117mm between the two points specified? Because when you try and think about it upsidedown under the car it sort of makes you confused lol.

what are the points that it says to measure between for the correct adjustment? wouldn't they be changed because it sits alot lower now.

ps, did you get different bumpstops for the rear?

Yes have different bumpstops and the points are the top of chain lip and the bottom where the other lip is. Its hard to explain.

NVM, just went out there then and set it to pretty much spot on its recommended setting.

ah righto, have you given it a good 'testing' yet to see if its in the ballpark? you wouldn't have abs would ya?

Nah no ABS, actually the weird thing is that it seems to me that even before it was lowered i think that this setting may have been wrong as it just doesn't seem to add up. Donno ill see when i give it a bit of a test, as i have previously tested it and no matter in the wet or dry i have not been able to lock it up and my god it does pull up quick with 8's all round.

Thanks for your help
Matt.
