G'day Guys.

I'll cut to the chase. Looking for rear springs to suit FG Sedan that are lower than KFRL-68SSSL. I have kfrl-68sssl's already and it really bothers me sometimes that there is a decent gap between the 20" tyre and the guard. 

Does anyone know whether there is a KFRL-68SSSSL in existence, or if another manufacturer is making something off the shelf lower than the king spring options? I'm having a hard time finding somewhere in WA that will reset the springs so now I'm looking to a better off the shelf alternative. (not paying for coilovers)

it goes "Super Low" then "Super Super Low" then "Super Super Super Low" then "Ultra Low" :P no idea on the actual product code, though.

Yeah but all I've found online from looking at "ultra low" listings is products that have a KFRL-68SSSL code. :(

Who cares about product codes. Just call them and say "I want lower than SSSL".

 

pro-tip: AU springs fit and are considerably lower than BA-FG springs ;) (you will break much of the car going this low, though haha)

I've had it with cars dragging their ass. My vr bombadore had daewoo lanos rear springs in it. You could imagine the ride from springs that were meant to hold up a toy car. I had a flat spot on my diff from dragging it everywhere. Got over that sh*t real quick. 

 

I know you didn't ask for suggestions about anything else but if you want to go that low I would be looking at airbags. You can get good rear only kits for under $1k now. Saves fark arsing around in car parks and sh*t.

^^ clearly an old man

 

Low is a preference. If people want to do it, go nuts! It's only dangerous to the tops of speedbumps.

Nah man just got practical. My xy is on the floor. Drags the headers over everything. But that's a car we only take out once a month at best. 

Any more than that it becomes a chore. 

 

 

Yeah old man

Appreciate the advice guys but bags/coilovers are out of the question for various reasons. The N/A XR50 is just a reliable daily to me and I don't want to sink that kind of money into it, but at the same note I don't want to dodgy the sh*t out of it and chop coils. I'm open to the idea of springs from another model falcon but honestly it may sound like I'm trying to slam this thing on it's ass but I'm not...

The SSSL's in the rear right now sit almost an inch above the 20" tyre. I just want them to be a little lower.
