I compressed my Kings SL's a further 2 inches and my XT now sits 105mm lower than standard.. looks good with 20's But be careful.. the XR kit is a little lower than the XT lips so u will have dramas with driveways and speed humps if u go much lower..Keep us posted with pics if u decide to go lower

Compressing springs involves heating them up and as any engineer knows heating sprung steel is a so why do so many reputable suspension shops practice this:??? Ohhh and your car isnt legal or insured with compressed springs either. But when you can get them sitting the right height it does make the car look great

pumped81 Member 49 Member For: 21y 11m 13d Location: Tassie Posted 04/08/06 11:55 PM Author Posted 04/08/06 11:55 PM Thanks for the replys guys. Is there different levels of compression? I probably only want another 25-30mm as it is already low. I dont think a regular suspension shop can do this, would I need to go to a springworks?As far as the kingspring SSSL, im sure they are only available for holdens at the moment. My best mate owns a suspension and exhaust workshop and we cant find a listing for these springs to suit falcons. He puts alot of SSSL in holdens, and it really dumps them.
