Default AU tonner suspension

Wasnt sure whether to post this here........

Does anyone have pics of an au one tonner sitting on king lows, front and back? Looking at spring options for my car and trying to visualise how it will sit. I like the look of superlows but my old xr6 had SL's and I found them to be too low.

Thanks

Kenz & illusive. Those pics just confirm falcons look best on superslows. Unfortunately SLs just aren't practical for me. Really looking for pics of a tonner with king lows.

I have a set of SLs sitting in "kenz" garage ... LOL

I need to get up there and get them.
Although .. I am going to get the leaf pack upgraded with another leaf to handle more weight.

If you have a much stronger 2nd stage in the leaf pack ... it will reduce sag ... but it will be very firm indeed when unladen.

There was a pic recently of a white AU tonner ... i think in the Projects section ... of it decked.

Your best bet is to get your 1-tonner leaf pack reset ... it can be done.
