Hi all.
When i bought this car last year it had red coils front and rear (Pedders? With 350mm hub to guard on the front). I bought some new kings super lows for the front thinking it would be at least 10 mm lower ( actual height =345mm htg) but after a few hundred km its still 345mm htg. Coils sit nicely in upper and lower saddles. Does the front seem to be sitting at about the right height for the spring type (sl)? What about the back height? FYI: For a visual reference, front tyres are 235 45 17 and backs 255 45 17. PS: the kings sl were actually 20mm shorter than the reds when compared side by side out of the car. Thanks.

For reference, the 45 part of the tyre reading is a percentage of the tread width, not a metric or imperial measurement.

The HTG info is more important and constant regardless of rolling diam or wheels and im more concerned with the front end anyhow. Cheers.

I definately fitted super lows to the front and i was expecting more of a drop compared to the original red pedders of unknown height, but they obviously arent as low as her Lane. I think i may have seen that fairkane before in Langy? With the phat sticker on the back? PS: she drives an "old man's car??" Hehe cheers dude.

Thanks guys.
Perhaps my new front kings (KFFL-57 SL) are mislabelled and are actually lows? The kings must be stiffer than the pedders though, as they are about 20mm shorter than the pedders but only lower the front by 5mm from the pedders. Cheers, Andrew.

Vic plates in Canberra? Have you moved up there recently, or is that another thing you can get away with in Canberra?

Not a Lane owner myself, but the springs look a 'Low' height to me.
Looks nice! GK
