Okay so if u have a chev on a Crs front end and hq stubs and u want to lower it
I bought some king springs to suit hk v8 part number khfl - 02 and still have good suspension travel
The distance between centre hub and guard is 330mm hope that helps
Fk with chev only way to go man

Hi
What size are your rims and tyre combo on the front and if you lower it more would the tyres rub on the guards? Are the rims centre or offset?

thanks Rick

Rims r 15 x 6 with a 3.5 inch backspace
Tyres r 195/50 series
Could have gone the super low springs without rubbing the guard but I still wanted good suspension travel
Especially with the roads around lismore if I was still on the gold coast would have went lower
Bloody northern nsw roads r rough as
