Posted 08/06/09 05:09 AM Share Posted 08/06/09 05:09 AM So on a whim I bought some KING SPRINGS KFFL-57SL front KFRL-68SSL rear. Now my question is what will be the ride comfort be like. My car is a daily driver and I have to drive on Parramatta rd which is basically a paved goat track(got to be the worst major road in all of Aust.). I take trips to Canberra, Gold coast every year and do so with the car fully loaded with 2 little kids in the back and a full boot. Will this combo shake and rattle the kids to the point they wont get to sleep during these trips?Also I have a slight incline in my drive way and on stock ride height I have scraped my cat which sits a bit low.I installed some whiteline sway bars 27mm fronts and 22mm rears and thought they made my ride bumpier so not sure how these lowered springs will go.What do you think, get them installed or piss them off?

mercuryturbo Oh look.... a real car, with no hair dryer Donating Members 1,724 Member For: 18y 9m 5d Gender: Male Location: Fear and Loathing in Callala Bay Posted 08/06/09 09:04 AM Share Posted 08/06/09 09:04 AM I find my car scrapes it nose less with these springs now than what it did when it was stock.It used to sit bum high & nose down, now it sits level & ride comfort feels almost as good.

I think it has alot to do with my shocks though, they are completely shagged and the ride is very floaty.
