no front are diff cause engine is heavier lol i think back are deffinetly different

[pepstar87]

[SAV_117]

they may fit but they wont last

[pepstar87]

ok thanks mate.. appreciate your input - if anyone else has another opinion, please let me know.

[pepstar87]

any other people have opinions?
I need to know, as people on other forums have said they will be fine?

yeh ive been told that too, ive got a set of king SSL's from when i had my SS sedan and ive been told on a popular ute forum that they (sedan springs) will fit.

If the VT was a V6 then i would say the springs wouldn't be right for the heavier V8 engine in the VY. On top of that, the rear springs on a ute are different to a sedan spring. In my opinion, get yourself the right springs.

[sp001in]

different springs. will not fit.

[pepstar87]

Im so confused - I dont know who to believe.. People on LS1 have said it will fit while others on here have said it wont!
I dont know what to do as I want the triple superlows bad and I think king springs lowest they make now are only 'ultras' which are double super lows, which I already have..

[adamc11]

Mate if you want lower, then buy the king springs and get a suspension place to compress them. I did this on my old cars king springs (compressed about 10mm). They lose the yellow colour since they are heated though. Cost me about $100.

Google the King Spring website & check those numbers against their catalogue.

I believe they do fit. Also I was told the ultras are a replacement for the king sssl.

I called Kings springs direct and they said they will fit fine - the only 'problem' is they will sit about 10mm lower than they would on a VT sedan could be good or bad..will soon find out..but he said they will definately fit.

well thats good then, ive got a pic of what height they will be in the ute.

[Weekend Warrior]

Mate they will fit no problems. the only difference will be a slight alteration in height. Fitting wise though there is no difference between the VT - VZ range.

[jamesl_VTSS]

well how come other people have said they won't then?

[pepstar87]

Yeah I have no idea james, maybe they mean it wont work because of the heavier engine - who knows..but I believe the guys from king springs!

You say you have a pic of what height they will be in the ute??

[jamesl_VTSS]

yeh this is with rear KHRL-46SSL springs in and with front kings for utes-KHFL-47SSL:

[jamesl_VTSS]

perfect height with a set of 19's i reckon

[SAV_117]

its more of a thing that they will wear out alot quicker than normal

[pepstar87]

yeh this is with rear KHRL-46SSL springs in and with front kings for utes-KHFL-47SSL:

yeah they are SSL, im actually getting SSSL in the rear and SSL in the front.
