I was wondering what would be the best king spring sizes to get would be, I was thinking SL in back an L in the front, Do you guys know how it will look? Post up pictures of your car and state what springs you have in them.. Cheers!

No, go away. Look at all the threads we already have of "Post pictures of your colour/height/weight/springs/turbo/dog" - hundreds. Put matching springs front and rear in your VL. Don't build another **** heap like so many before you.

Yeah good idea, lower the rear more than the front so you can look at the sky while you drive

I'm pretty sure you are capable of scrolling past this thread if you don"t like its sort, rather than being a blunt smart ass on it "mods".. And robbovl I do agree just match them. Even if they look odd at first just let them settle and sag a little.

I think it looks good sitting lower in the back mate, give the car a tuffer stance. Its not meant to handle, i lost that at buying a vl and then putting 20s on it.

You will find these kind of threads will receive a pretty negative response from experienced members because we honestly build things properly.

Ive had heaps of guys messaging me about my car build, paint, rims etc asking me heaps of questions which ive helped them out with Properly or differently? Obviously the cars are for different purposes Now lock the thread after your next response so it looks like you won the debate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Suspension systems serve a dual purpose — contributing to the car's roadholding/handling and braking for good active safety and driving pleasure, and keeping vehicle occupants comfortable and reasonably well isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations Lowering the rear more than the front upsets the balance of the car and is not the proper way to do a suspension upgrade Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

suspension systems dont serve a dual purpose for some people, its PRIMARY purpose is to keep the car on the road, WHILE abosribng bumps and vibrations on road cars, you dont see mark skaife saying oh my cars to bumpy and uncomfortable? for people modifying cars its personal preference, nothing else, your not going to die if your cars a little lower in the back, big deal. i know of people with coil overs that are stiff as bloody bumpstops, and their cars are safer then when they were rolling on marshmellow like suspension. nobody is in the position to judge other peoples cars, if i want to drive around on three wheels and scrape my front hub on the ground, i can, you cant tell me not to, same goes if i wana slam my rear thats my choice. just cause you dont like it doesnt mean you have to have a winge, if we lived in a world where we listened to everyones opinions all our cars would be indentical. end rant ---------- Post added 21-10-11 at 14:14 ---------- oh and a vl isnt exactly balanced in the first place, if you bought a vl to handle, youve got more luck going to coles and stealing a trolley.

Obviously the cars are for different purposes Now lock the thread after your next response so it looks like you won the debate Whether I was a mod or not, you'd still get the same response. And there's no need to lock the thread - anyone looking for advice would use the search function, scan the first page of a thread with a reasonable title and bin this shit for what it is. They'd then pick a member with reasonable responses and a bit of sense, and look at THEIR posts. Just saying mate - been on the site long enough to have seen 100 guys like you come and go, and no one remembers their cars. Especially not for mismatched springs.
