Default Springs!

Okay, i have Lovells SSL coil springs on the front, need to go a bit higher as its just a touch low for my line of work, how do King SSL, or SL springs compare height wise?

What's the height of your springs from the center of the wheel to the guard? It's the best way to compare springs. Takes wheel/rim combo out of the equation.


SL kings sit at 335mm in my ute

Cheers

No probs, ill be messing around there as usual lol.

We had a bit of a play with your race car and decided to go green and fitted a diesel 4 cyl engine and made it so you can run it on grass clippings, works well.
