Do you want to know what front springs will match your rear springs? You ask your question in a very round about way.

 

When you say your rear springs are 200mm - is this the height of them measured out of the car? Are they stock springs that have been cut, are they falcon springs that have been cut, are they lowered king springs? basically what i am saying is that you haven't given any one enough information to even begin helping you.

 

Don't cut your standard spring with an angle grinder. your call will handle like soggy poo.

 

Best solution is to buy lowered king springs front and rear

 

If they are still not low enough take them to a spring works and get them reset.

200mm rear springs are as low as I would go if its a daily/street car.

 

As everyone else has said though you haven't really provided any information.

 

If they are stock rear springs, only cut. It's going to be too low

 

If you are wanting to know what height front springs to use, the general rule is the same as the rear, a little lower preferably.

 

When/if I build another KE70 for the street I will be going 210mm 6kg front springs, and 235mm 4.5kg rear springs

[silverra23]

[KE70PWR]

And some cheap monroe shocks or boge from ajps.. or kyb

 

You arent going to get anything cheaper. and they proabably wont be short stroke.

KYB VN wagoooooon rears.
