MiKa Donating Members 4,243 Member For: 18y 10m 18d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted 18/09/10 07:34 AM Share Posted 18/09/10 07:34 AM When gettin it lowered I asked for SL fronts, now I have always been suspicious as to what was put in cause it seems a bit lower than others I've seen, but it looked good so I didnt really care. But now my front bar is shagged and its not worth the hassle (sh*ttin myself at every speed bump), so im wanting to raise the front of the T.. I measured the hub to guard and its about 335mm, is this normal?Before I go gettin new springs, just wondering if worn shocks will cause the front to be lower than normal? I bought the car at 60,000kms and I havent put new shocks in and im reckon the guy I bought it off didnt either (it was stock) it now has 140,XXXkms.. Im gonna get some new shocks but if that will raise the front than the new springs may not be needed.. If not ill do both at the same time...Pics..

Cause if I do raise it be good to know which springs I have now and just get the one above, not just replacing SL's with new SL'sCheers...

Theres soo much confusion with king springs and L's/SL's/SSL's/SSSL'sThe fronts on my car at the moment are "KFFL-57SSL" yours will either be that of KFFL-57SL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/70600-front-too-low/#findComment-1041212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it say on the spring itself? Can u even see it?Could u PLZ measure from your guard to your hub and let me know what you get?Pinched from the wholsalesuspension site, thx boys, hope it ok.. btw, how hot does that GTS look...
