Suspension Options.

[Lugo]

Hey guys,

Trying to work out different ride height options, I've seen a couple of TL/KL AWD's with King Lows, can someone with a TL or KL AWD on King SP's possibly post a photo or two of the ride height? Trying to work out a nice balance between looks and performance atm.

If we could keep this to just the photos of cars with various suspension setups rather than a million posts on peoples individual opinions on what one should have, that'd be great, cheers.

I'm going to presume then that no one has or knows of a tl awd on sp's

Hey mate. Does it have to be an AWD? Type40 has a FWD on SP's. Wont look much different.

Just my opinion mate, but i think you would be dissapointed with SP's. Front wont look too different.

I've got lows with Monroe Gt's and it rides great, handles well and is still soft.

SP's are suppose to be the same height as VRX/Sports (maybe a couple mm difference, but not enough to "lower" it). Lows are your best bet (with the extra height, should be around the same as the superlows on the rada).

The awd's all sit lower than the FWD equiv's, my vr-x sits roughly where Dave's TL sits now on the SP's. I'm expecting it to sit somewhere between SP's and Low's on a TL FWD. Just hoping to see a photo of how they sit before I ordered anything, just incase the drop's are different to the norm you see in the FWD models.

Life, SP's are lower than the VR/VR-X springs, quite noticeably so. Don't know where you picked up that knowledge but it's rather wrong.

When I had them in my car, people used to seem shocked when they found out that it was not the factory setup, as there is bugger all difference really.

I've got a TL Awd with Kings lows all round. I reckon it looks good. doesn't have the big gap around the front tyre anymore. Have to be a bit careful with driveways etc though. I just went and took a pic, not the best shot of the tyre/guard gap though. pic here. https://i430.photobucket.com/albums/q...lie7/magna.jpg

Type40's looked noticeably lower than standard on the VR suspension, it's just a subtle drop, it doesn't really stand out as aftermarket because its not dumped to the ground I guess.

Thanks for the photo, that doesn't look too shabby at all, although that photo on the angle you've taken it looks the same as mine is now when I look at mine side on..odd

Hey lugo.

Type40's car is decieving because of his rims. His Fwd on sp's looks similar to my AWD on lows because of his rims.

You wont be happy with sp's mate. I have sp's on a KE and it looks stock. Yes i know about the AWD extra weight argument but that is mostly noticably in the rear, not the front.

rhys, the king springs lows drop 30mm according to king springs, if the SP's are less than that its going to be so stupidly little you couldnt notice, pickup a ruler and have a look how little 15-20mm is, now put that up to your car and see how little drop it is


but i guess you know already because your telling everyone who HAS the springs in that they are wrong
