Custom made king springs?

heres a picture of how low it is now

are you just looking to now lower the front a bit more?

someone correct me if i'm wrong, but should it not be a bit lower than that on ultra lows?

curious, are you slapping the bump stops much whilst regular driving? also, i'm not sure what the legal requirements are for travel to bump stops from ride height, but that'd be a consideration if you go lower again...

me> blah blah blah.. :whistling

chuck 22's on it. they will fill out the arches and give the appearence of the car being lower.
you want to tuck some rim in the front dont you? bigger wheels will do this quicker than going with lower springs.
in saying that it does look a bit high in the front end go and get that checked out.
i would recommend going for coil over springs though, much better and they are adjustable.

Any lower than that and it will look retarded. It sits perfect as is.

Not if done correctly. But then again, after so many k's and time, springs sag anyway.

There is no such thing as properly, there is only one way to do it, they get heated up, spring compressor are attached and they are cooled down, thats the only way, it compromised the strength of the steel quite a bit. It saying that, I have not heard of someone breaking one yet.

Also I think it looks good how you have it now. If you always have loads in the back, it practical and it will sag quicker.

Why - just re-temper the steel and it should be as good as new. Thats how they do the springs in the first place.

Yeah but most if not all suspensions places are fitters only and dont go to that extent, not any that I have heard of. A lot of the workers at these places wouldn't even know that the strength is compromised.

Spring manufacturers do it properly, yes they heat the steel. The spring is put into a kiln, it is heated evenly to the correct temperature then it is compressed to the desired height and then retempered.

The same way they make springs in the first place.
