i was wondering what the right part number would be to get the back end sitting jus below the top of the tyre? i ordered sl's for the front and ssl's for the rear but on the spring it says khr46slhd and the back still sits bit high i rekon compared to mates cars who have ss'ls in the back? not hundred percent sure if they are ssl or not since it says sl on the spring? i dunno much about this either lmao...

are the springs in the correct way? if they are not set in the correct way than can sit alot higher. the curl at the top needs to face inwards to the diff

SSL is short for SuperSuperLow (ie Ultra Low). SL is short for SuperLow 2. What shocks are in it? 3. Is it sitting on the bump stops?

If it's sitting on the bump stops it won't go any lower regardless of what springs you have! You need shortened shocks with lower bump stops

the HD at the end of the part number is your problem mate they are heavy duty ones, you should only put them in a wagon as they are heavier in the back..

You sound like an expert, you might want to ring up King Springs and let them know they have got their catalogue wrong... http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalo...e%20040203.pdf (http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/Kings%20Superlow%20Caralogue%20040203.pdf)

KHRL-46SSSL is the lowest spring. and i doubt with ultra's it would be on bump stops, as i have SSSL in both my vt and vx and they are not on bump stops

orite so ive got "ultra lows" for a wagon in my sedan what if i was to get SSL sedan springs would it sit lower or not? what happened was i went through a mate who works at a whole saler i asked for SL at the front and SSL at the back, i ended up with SL at the front and ultra low wagon springs at the back lmao? can someone show me a pic of how a vt sits with SL in front and SSL in the back? Should i go buy SSL sedan springs? Im lost with what i should do now lmao Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
