I've finally finished fitting out my EL..

new 9" diff, Kings Superlow Springs, Koni shocks, Whiteline adjustable sway bar, and new lower control arms and new superpro bushes through out..

My problem is, it was fine... now its sitting really low, and the watts link arm is rubbing on the housing, as is the sway bar, and the exhaust... It wasnt previously, and I've put it back up on the hoist and nothings broken or dropped.. But sounds like I'm driving a trailer and has no suspension travel anymore... like its riding on bump stops.

What I want to know is has anyone else had this problem running a 9 inch.. and/or what spring/shock combo's are they running?

Cheers,

Damian

There's your problem.....super lows..

Hmmm.. have ordered heavy duty standard height... Just weird that I didnt actually have this problem when it all first went in..

springs compress over time..

yeah... but not in 4 weeks...

you'd be surprised, my super lows settled within that time.. now my tailshaft hits the floor under first and second again..

Hmmm.. interesting...

cheers... all out and standards going in... hopefully it'll give me the clearance I'm after.

I have EL XR6 springs in my ED.

what KONI shocks have you got?

KONI yellows are height adjustable via the bottom spring seat arnt they?

They are they Koni yellow, I cant say I noticed when I put them in if they were adjustable or not... hmmm.. That could be advantageous...

Actually from memory, I dont think the rears are... They only have the adjuster at the top to change the dampening from hard to soft..

Definatly need taller spring so go to low spring and see how u go with that

Post some pictures of ur car as it sounds very similar to my old EF XR8 347 stroker
