Hi All,
Just a quick question, what is people oppinions of what springs to use to achieve same height as ELXR6. I will have a poll with brand names of what springs to use. I am going to use Boge shocks as well.

well obviously if you want xr height the standard xr springs will be the ones to go with.
but if you mean aftermarket stuff, generally king spring lows are around the xr height from what i have seen over the years. i have whitelines, (see user gallery) proly too low for what you want |

You car seems to be a tad higher at the rea compared to the front??? I just want to lower it just under 1inch as i just want it to look abit better and less body roll and all. I was thinking of the factory xr spring but was thinking for the same money would it be better for aftermarket springs in regards to handling, firmness.

Its good though, can load up the back seat and boot and it still isnt too low to get over bumps and stuff. Low_EFII wrote: what ghost town were you in when you took those pics! Ha ha ha. Went down to the industrial areas in Cairns at about 4.30 on a sunday arvo.

Yeh thats how my car sits too, but i think mine is more than 10mm and when i lower it i want it is sit all the same.
Do after market springs like king spring make the car sit the same all round?

If you're looking for a level height when not loaded, most people go for a staggered spring set, such as lows front, super lows rear, or super low front, ultra low rear.
I had the super/ultra combo and it sat very level and looked good. I've since changed to Whiteline lows, and find them to be a fair degree firmer than the Kings I had previously. Personally, it handles much better than before. The ride is also alot more pleasant. |

Ill vouch for whitline too, ive just got the controls (lows) which are supposed to be a 3cm drop, and the ride is fantastic and the front bumper clears *most* gutters too lol

with the whitelines you can clear just about anything as long as you are careful about it.
