Its not that low, it sits nicely just the way i like it, its still practical, i dont scrape on anything and it handles alot better than the factory set up.

and thats what i want to hear. are they SL or SSL? how many mm drop?

Ok well because its a 6 i needed to get lower fronts as all springs are made for the weight of the 8, so my fronts are sssl and the rears are slhd but this is superlow height for a v6 sportwagon. Cant remember the part numbers but just download the kings springs catalouge and you will be able to match it all up from there, its easy. im not sure how much drop i got in mm from factory but tonight ill measure the ride height now and ill put it on here for you so you can compare.

So my current ride height is as follows:
FRONT = 370 mm
REAR = 355 mm
measurements were taken from the centre of hub to the top of wheel arch.
The part numbers for the springs i uses are:
FRONT = KHFL-150sssl
REAR = KHRL-152slhd
these are kings superlows.

Nah mate, the springs are made for the v8s so you need to go a size down to get the v6 to sit at the proper height. download the kings catalogue it will show you what matches with what. as for the drop im not completely sure i cant remember my original ride height but measure yours and then compare to my measurements.

ok...so confusing as they say SSL = 50-60mm drop from factory. SSSL = 60-70mm drop from factory.

just want to make sure i get the right setup so i dont ruin the ride and ill be fine with the stock shocks.

ill download the catalogue now and have a good look through it.
