January 6, 201016 yr comment_403366 That's a perfectly normal ride for a dumped car... Get softer springs, matched shocks and suitable bump stops... or raise it up! I've got cut springs in mine, but its not 'dumped'. The ride is slightly firmer than stock, but the truth is that the shorter the spring, the stiffer the ride. Almost there man, Spring rate is dependent on a few things. 1) Number of Coils/ Wire Pitch. Fewer coils/higher pitch = stiffer 2) Spring Diameter. Smaller diameter = Stiffer, Larger diameter = Softer 3) Material diameter. Thicker material = stiffer, Thinner material = softer. For safety's sake, get the chops out and buy a set of proper lowered springs. I bought my KE30 with chops, the front wheels didnt even have to be off the ground for the coils to become non-captive!!!!! What most people would be after is a set of progressional rate springs. These are usually close to the length of your stock spring. But they are designed with a dual pitch rate. These lower the car but can extend to close to normal spring length to help them stay captive. Either that or get shocks to match your application. Report
January 6, 201016 yr comment_403371 where are these 120 buck kingies? i take it its just for a pair of falcons? its a pair of stand height kings for the front of a 55 $120 + posatge Yeh like the bit where the lead connects to. When I was tightening them how the hell did you break it? its only surpose to be tighten to 20nm or hand tight with a 3/8 ratchet NOT with a 1/2 breakerbar and a 4 meter water pipe!

January 6, 201016 yr comment_403416 Well I was lucky enuff to find a near new pair in a falcon at u pull it... And seeing no body got back to me on that reply on driving with 3 spark plugs..

Got to the servo and got a new one and still drove the car home with 3 plugs and got awesome looks from the sound I really, really hope that was a joke...... Report
