Mine is sitting 360 front, 350 rear. I'm not sure if that's SSL or something else. Kings.

Anyone know what the stock height is? I'd only wanted an inch lower and I know it's lower than that.

What springs: sports rydas rear, kings sssl front

What shocks: std

Ride height after: 345mm rear, 370mm front. - hub to guard

Ride quality: fine, bit bumpy with 20's

Were from: eBay for kings, pedders (at cost)

How much: $300

And model: sedan

Edit: have to wog-roll over medium/large speed humps, slow and sideways over sharp ones like in shopping centers and sharp declines in carparks make life difficult..

Looks awesome though.

Just got Kings "triple springs" put in my SS. which took her down 2.5inches. (~65mm after settling)
Speed bumps are no longer my friend... but corners are.
Prettymuch got rid of any annoying body roll I was getting. kept the shocks standard
and she looks very nice! keen to get some 19's on her. planning 9.5F 10.5R. want a decent amount of tyre still, for nsw's terrible roads.

got one shot of before and two of after.

hi all,

good tread. can i confirm the following before I take the next step:

1. For a levelled look the front should be one level lower then the rear?

2. SSL is the max with stock shocks?

this is for a Calais Sportwagon 6cyl.

cheers

Hi there, your 6 cylinder will need sssl in front and slhd in rear for it to sit at super low height(ssl) ive just done my wagon to this height and kept the standard shocks/ struts, it sits level and rides very nice. the codes are a little confusing but trust me they are rite. you can download the kings spring catalogue if your unsure, hope this helps.
