Hi.
I'm looking at using these springs in my XU-1. By what I've read, this kit seems to be the closest to what was used originally, height wise anyway...
Any thoughts or anyone used these?

Both times I've bought adjustable shocks I've never adjusted them. Had Konis on a ex cop XE falcon, set them on firm & never changed again. Got Tough Dog adjustables on my Hilux, set them to soft in 2010 & haven't touched them since. :D

I probably wouldn't notice the difference between the shockies with the street/hwy use my LJ will get.

 

I was more concerned about getting the spring height right. Not too low, more than anything.

Cheers

They'll be fine for height mate, 75% of lc & lj owners are running them. Nothing worse than a high car i reckon.
