Rudiger All round good guy! Lifetime Members 1,122 Member For: 15y 11m 14d Gender: Male Location: Greenvale, Victoria Posted 14/11/10 05:41 AM Share Posted 14/11/10 05:41 AM Hi Guys. Just fitted some Kings to the the front of my BF II. They are KFFL 57, the super low. The car now looks like its on stilts.It should be lower obviously. I had standard height kings in and we compared the 2 and the new ones were actually longer than the old.Any one had this issue? Am I missing something?I'd normally ask my guru Pat but its a Sunday and hes not at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got the wrong springs in it.You've put a BA-BF1 spring in it.The BF2's have a different shocker which needs a different spring.Trust me I went the other way and this is what the front of my car looked like... lol.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 20y 11m 29d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 14/11/10 09:53 AM Share Posted 14/11/10 09:53 AM Craig, the 'LOW' spec spring for your car are:Front: KFFL-53SSLHDRear: KFRL-68SSL/310There's no listing in the catalogue for super lows to suit a BF MkII. But, the springs they've given you are super lows for the BA/BF MkI's.To add to the confusion even more they've stuffed up their main catalogue and put the wrong part numbers in for the low BF MkII springs.

I knew Pat wouldnt have lead me wrong. It looks like Kings have lead him wrong. I checked all the part numbers and they all matched.The rears are in and they are the SSL and look the goods. A little thincker and an extra coil.Actually the rears I have Adam are KFRL 68 SSL 380. Just taking it for a drive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my choice though. I opted for the standard height springs before I knew better. I think you tried to tell me Pat but as usual, I'm a goose.
