looking at going closest to legal height whhich is apparently 295mm at the rear and 345mm at the front between the centre of the rim and the top of the arc. Its in a calais and will be driving on factory calais 15s. Any help with identifying what king springs would be great. Also i like it sitting level if not the rear a touch lower than the front. Cops in adelaide are getting alot more strict these days so any avoidance to be being pulled over is a must with what lies in the engine bay these days. Cheers

There should be a part number on the spring, where you can then match up on the kingspring site. From what i have seen, sl in the front and ssl will make it sit even, sl in the rear will make it sit a bit higher than the front.

i dont think sl and ssl is what Vin is looking for lol. If You don't wana look suss, FE2's or king 'lows' is where it's at. i have put king lows in my project VL. I'm pretty sure anything lower than standard height won't pass regency.

Cheers This is exactly the solution I'm looking for. Any aftermarket lowered front spring seems to dip below the 345mm eyebrow height by atleast 15mm. Anytime I get pulled over they always check and will defect me, last time I was given a caution to get it sorted so lucky for once. Is there a legal way of raising the height to the extra 15mm without changing springs? really don't want to go to standard height, looks terrible and doesn't handle as well.
