I'm getting king spring in my car. ssl front and sssl rears question is should I upgrade my shocks to suit or would it be fine not to upgrade shocks. got a vs ss irs

It is always preferable to to change your shocks to ones that are suited to the ride height and rate of your new lowered springs. Standard length shocks can cause your lowered springs to fall out, and ruin your car's handling. It's also preferable to have matching height springs front to rear, rather than much lower at the back than the front, as you're intending.

you'll need new front shocks, but the need to be short travell shocks

oh ok thanks for the input guys. was told would need to back shocks and new front struts.

struts = shocks

yeah guess I would do it right the first time and get the shocks to suit. cheers guys..

if as you say, you are going to do it right, wouldnt you get the springs all the same height?

correct

Too many.

but there is usually more weight in the front? engine and front passenger/driver, most of the time anyway..

Yes your correct there are a lot of VL's riding around with really **** suspension setups. If your gonna do it right how bout getting yourself some koni's and be done with it..... Dragging your nuts is fun for about 500m... Then its just bone shattering. Make the car ride right initially and spend some money on a decent setup..
