F6 Ute- Springs Vs Coilovers?

[senna_T]

Approx 60mm from standard height - depending on load and model.

Thanks Pat. Lets say an FG with no load - would you get match that with an SSL front spring for an even ride height?

[Pazzo]

60mm is decent.. What would SL be pat? 30 mm 40mm?

Are Herrods springs different to normal kings?

it's not uncommon for manufacturers to produce product for another business but to their spec and the manufacturer can not sell it themselves.

To the OP, what do you want to improve in the handling, you need to be more specific as almost everything is a trade off in another area and lowering the car does not always make it handle better, sometimes they're worse

[Pazzo]

Spoke to Kings today Mick.. He said that Herrods developed in conjunction with Kings the leaf springs.. He said it without saying it there the same

yep one expensive sticker

Well I guess more grip, more control, more confidence in it, and generally just be a better handling vehicle

So I'm assuming SSL front, what's the best option for the rear?

And any price quotes?

Thanks guys

tyres give you grip and confidence, but correct set up suspension can add to this by moving the cars weight around as required, but cars power, driving style and road condition all change this, having good grip on a smooth flat road may have poor grip on a rough road.

You need to specify what your issue is at the momment.I.e not enough turn in, understeer mid corner, understeer on corner exit, understeer on power, off power etc

[bjwortley]

Ok thanks for the heads up, sounds like I need to go for a few windy hills runs to explain exactly what I would be after

[ratter]

correct mate, you want the car customised to your requirements, the better you can describe it to a good suspension guy, the better chance you have of getting what you want, good luck
