I'm looking at getting 'the lowest possible' springs for my LC. Sink the wheels right into the arches.

At the moment im already running slightly lower springs and firmer lowered shocks in standard arches.. maybe 1.5" below standard. I'm also running the standard 13" rims and small tyres with plenty of clearance to take it a couple more inches down. I can't find any model numbers on my current springs, so I cant check what i'm running already.

I had a look at Lovells and KingSpring catalogues but they don't list superlows for toranas.. and you can never tell how low the typical 'low' class springs are.

If anyone has low springs on their torrie, with pics and details.. i would GREALTY appreciate it. I'd much rather go to a suspension place and tell them exactly what I want. GTR/XU-1's with 13"s would be the best for comparison.

Thanks

I'll fish around the forums, see if I can find pics of your GTR, milco.. unless you feel like posting a pic here ;D

resizing by the factory? wow. I didn't know. thanks.

too low and the lower control arm rubber will ride on the chassis stop and will eventually bend your lower control arm near the balljoint ..

has anyone experienced shortening the chassis stop ???

I just contacted Lovells and they say their 'Sports Low' springs are the lowest they'll make them.. due to 'coil binding issues'.

if you can, thanks champ.

Hey 70rev,

Can you do me a favour and measure the "eye brow height" of your front king springs.

The eye brow height is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lowest point of the guard.

I'm about to RAISE my LJ coz it's too low for the street.

It currently has Pedders Low coils in it and the eye brow height is 270mm. I have spoken to King Springs and they say their lowered coils are 300mm and their standard height coils are 330mm, but I'd like someone to confirm that before I go to the trouble of installing them. I'd be happy with it around 300-310mm.

Thanks,
Mike

ive had to shorten (hacksaw) my bump stops.

I ended up going pedders. I asked for Lovells, but apparently Pedders are lower.
