    Default Springs

    Ive been trying to find out what is best to put in my VT berlina, i dont want to drop it to much,only reduce the gap between the wheel and arch, and to have abit stiffer ride, not like i feel everything on the road but so when i turn quickly it doesnt sway as much
    what would people recommend?

    -King Springs
    -FE2's
    -Lovell's

    They will be going onto the Monroe shocks currently in the car.

    king spring superlows all round looks good and rides fairly good
    if there are bumpy roads around you might wanna go with FE2 as they will give a bit more travel to absorb bumps
    VR through to VX wrecking in WA, must get rid of these!

    Putting a strut bar on will stop a lot of sway. I put one on the mrs VR berlina and removed a lot of the boat action in it lol

    I'm currently running lovells SL with kyb low shocks. height could be lower. but the ride is wonderful. soft when it needs to be. and hard when you want that extra stiffness from cornering. i think the lovells and kyb's make a wonderful combination.

    My old VP has SL kings all round, and monroes shocks back only. rides much better at the back. front has pedders sport ryders, which i'm not all that frilled with.
