    Default light blue king springs?? wtf

    hi all, from my experiences (which are limited) i have found that king springs tend to be yellow.. in the car i have bought i have the yellow kings in the front stamped with the SSL and product numbers, but in the rear i have light blue springs with no stamps on them? upon purchase i received the box to the springs (which also had the stock springs so im assuming they havent just cut them) but it had product numbers on top.. im sure i can find it if it well help anyone with my mystery.

    anyhow.. today when i was painting up my calipers and drums i noticed one had slipped off the bump stop... so i am just wondering if these are cut springs and i should replace or if anyone knows the brand etc.. im seriously lost.

    cheers guys

    sound like IBACH springs maybe LOVELL . check your shockers may not be short stroke shocks fitted allowing the springs to fall out of position .

    If there cut springs, id take em out & replace them with proper lowered springs. Yeah they could be Lovell springs.

    you all guessed it right, the mechanic has said lovells.

    my only suspicions laid with when i got my exhaust on the guy said i needed a full new rear suspension setup cos the springs were cut and the shocks weren't going to support them.

    the mechanic today said everything was find bar a few bushes which are soon to be replaced

    cut irs springs? unlikely, but post a picture and we would be able to tell.
