King SL's all round, sits WAY too high for my liking. I had the exact springs in my EA and it say way lower.

i would recommend ultra low front and superlow back i have ultralow or super superlows all round and the back of my car sits just a little lower than the front.
when you put a full tank you really notice the differance http://www.fordforums.com.au/attachm...achmentid=7908

THe thing I hate about lowering a car is how easy it is to ruin your. My brothers xf ghia has been lowered 3" and he can never enter the driveway. or go over a speed hump without scraping. Don't you guys thinks it gets to a point were it is over the top?
