Dad & I put new springs & shocks in their 06 Foz today. He got King Springs (pt no# fr KSFR-22, r KSRS-39) they were supposed to lower it 40-50mm according to the guy from K/spring that he talked to.We put them in but it hasn't really lowered it- maybe 10mm. Was wondering if anyone has lowered a 03-current Foz using Kings? What part no's? How much did they lower it? Before [attachment=201:100_3619.jpg] After [attachment=202:100_3627.jpg]

Give it a week and it should 'settle' a bit. When I had the springs changed in the GX, it went from the rear wheel sitting about 1cm from the guard to even/slighty tucked about a week later

Stuff goes here

Thats what he thought, according to the rep the ones he got should of lowered it... Hopefully it will "settle" over the next week as Richo said.

One thing that I noticed when looking at the K/S catalogue is that all the other "lows" have a L at the end of their part no# (KSFL-XX, KSRL-XX) whereas the ones he got don't (KSFR-XX, KSRS-XX) but they're listed in the "low" column and there isn't a listing for std ht. ??????
