just got my new springs done: KSFL-22 + KSRL-27.. king lows.

thought i'd put up a couple of comparison pictures of before and after.

before:



after:



picture doesn't do it justice really.
was hoping for a lower rear, but this does for now! coilovers will be the next step in 12 months, if i still have the car haha.

dropped about 35mm. thanks to the advice of Chris (TH3-70Y), and his used rear springs !

absolutely amazing! ... way better than before on stock springs! much more smoother, even on bumpy/uneven roads etc.

You notice it drop lower over the next week or two. King springs always do.

And worst case scenario, you could always jack it up and ryobi tune it a little more.
It looks much better then the standard height, but as you said, the rear needs to go s little lower I reckon.

I'm pretty sure only the fronts will settle: the rears were second hand so I'm guessing they've already done so?

Had a full car tonight, all 5 people including my self and I could feel the car scrubbing. I guess I got the perfect height for my ride..? Mayb eventually need to get the guards furthermore rolled again.

Thanks for the feedback

My sedan is lower than that and i get no scrubbing with a full car. I stiffened my suspension when I had it lowered. If you're going to have a full car often, rethink the springs you put in. Guard rolling can go real bad, real quick if the guy doing it fucks it up.

What offset are the rims?

If the guards are already rolled I would leave them.

The rear guards are fine as they were professionally rolled by the previous owner. The front guards however are not rolled, but it does get extremely close. So far it's been good, no issues. Rim offet is 55 so it's all sweet.
