NZXD 2,328 Posted June 9, 2014 Hey guys, im after some info. I have enquired with the NZ supplier of King Springs regarding the purchase of new super low leaf springs. The guy told me that the left side is different to the right to compensate the driver. Has anyone ever heard of this, what happens if theres a front passenger, wouldnt it be out of balance? Urgent help required. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gregaust 319 Posted June 9, 2014 That would be correct Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted June 9, 2014 The right side is strengthened so the car sits level with a driver. My worry is that it might sit funny with no driver or a car full. Part numbers; Right side is FOR-503/140 Left side is FOR-503/160 Lowers rear 50mm from standard. 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZXD 2,328 Posted June 15, 2014 I'll be posting a few pictures, probably tomorrow now. I'll be keen to know how much it will drop once it drives, at the moment it's straight of the jack. 1 Farkin351 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That looks sweet, i don't know what it is about your car but i can't stop staring at it, like it's got boobs or something. nice ride height too. Are they Kings super-low, ultra-low or just lowered?

NZXD 2,328 Posted June 25, 2014 Cheers dude, I can draw some boobs later on if that makes it better haha. They are super lows. I need to update the other thread, few other bits going on. 1 MNTL.XD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bear351c 10,273 Posted June 25, 2014 Leave them on for month, before looking at changing them out. They will sag a little. (See how it rides with 3 chicks in the back and 70 litres of petrol.) Looks like your tyres will get cut by the guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MNTL.XD 3,831 Posted June 25, 2014 (See how it rides with 3 chicks with big boobs in the back and 70 litres of beer.) Looks like your tyres will get fried from all the horsepower. Fixed. 1 bear351c reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Outback Jack 6,352 Posted June 25, 2014 LOL, cheeky..... You Changed his wording.... Looks sweet with the lowered springs, and tidy ride man. Jack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted June 26, 2014 Cheers guys. There is a bit of room between sidewall and guard, so there shouldn't be any cut tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I then made an enquiry with King springs in Oz, they said it's all ok. Ok, turns out mine are the same. Mine get fitted in about 3 weeks time along with a bunch of other stuff. Did you re-use your old U bolts or buy new ones? Im gonna buy new ones, prolly these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/47806-Nolathane-Bush-Kit-Ford-Falcon-XD-ZJ-LTD-FC-79-82-Spring-u-bolts-R-/231115336136?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35cf8c29c8&_uhb=1 Just curious will they be long enough? Im sure they will be but just double checking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted August 26, 2014 Hey man, I had two new sets, one being replacement set and the others that I had when it had blocks. The factory size work ok and have sufficient thread etc. I have now put the two inch blocks in just for shits n giggles and it's loooooooow. 1 steve mcqueen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
