Yes they would, depending on what aspect they wanted out of their car. Want it low to the ground sitting on the tyres looking nice? They might see what ive posted for some direction as to what they need to do like what i was doing when i was still learning and building my car. We wont however got on the topic of what looks nice on two different style of cars from mine to yours. Yeah thats great. I love this site, on here at least daily and thinks its a great resource in all aspects and like to think ive helped out a few people out thatve messaged me. Lot of people complete me on my car/build which im always pretty chuffed about

Well, let's cut it back. MY answer is matched springs front and rear of a driveable height for the purpose of the vehicle. IMHO; yours may differ, and good for you. For the record, your car looks alright in your DP. Probably because I can't see the ride height properly. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Strangely enough I agree with the both of you. While what FLY says can be correct in that differing springs does look tough and I believe LOOKS better than matched springs, what 5spd says is also true with the balance of the vehicle. I think it's totally up to the owner and at the end of the day, when someone pulled out in front of me and I slammed on the anchors, my MATCHED springs didn't stop my car from nosediving and causing my front right brake to lock up and write off my car.

^^^ to me that looks like the front needs to be lowered a little more to match Anyway since you asked to see pics of King Spring stances, here's my old VL with King Pro-Sport Competition Springs sitting on adjustable platforms with custom built Koni shocks The ride, performance and height was perfect IMO, but each to their own I guess Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Mate, why don't you just take your car along to a suspension specialist & tell them how you want your car to sit? Then, while you're relaxing in their showroom, they can do what they get paid to do and you'll drive away a happy customer. Alternatively - go and pick up a set of standard springs from the local wreckers and get the Makita out. Keep hacking coils until it sits how YOU want it to sit. Then sit back and enjoy the 'horse & cart' ride.

@NZ EVLHSV No **** it does, I forgot to add to the reply that i got these springs for free and that in my opinion it sits way to low at the back and that if these sprigs were suited to this car and i liked the stance at the back i would get SL's for the front. All that info is in the thread of the actual car.. @VN-2-NV I think i'd prefer the first idea rather then chopping cheers. @5spdvl Yet another valid input on your behalf :/ Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
