120kg is a lot of weight to cart around all the time.... I'd look at an uprated spring rate myself.

the problem is that it dosent look very low, but something must be at fault???
could it be the exhast hitting either the ground or some other part of the rear suspension/frame etc etc

 

[AdamAnt]

i dont know much about springs etc.
what would be a good one to go for?

i wouldnt use kingsprings for heavy duty purposes.... i know pedders does a set of lowered heavy duty springs.
i just dunno what height it sits at

 

[AdamAnt]

oh really thanks, how would i go about getting pedders springs in New Zealand or would something like dobi make a similar spring???
thanks

[AdamAnt]

really appreciated...
thanks

nah, definately not hitting bumpstops and the springs are definately in, i dont think they are captive at full extenstion though, if you say it cant be the diff then what else could it be because it definately sounds like it and the bottom of the diff houing has some large scrape marks along the bottom
thanks

It could be that the springs are about 150 mm too short, too. Brother, when the arse of the car starts bouncing on the tarmac, get rid of the springs and start again.
