Hi all

I am wanting to lower my TS in the next 3 - 4 weeks and i was wondring if any one could give me there opinions on whats the best springs to use, will i need new shocks and also is there any other parts i will need sway bars and stuff like that any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

here are the specs of my car

TS Magna
150,000k -if that means anything in this case
15" Mags ROH -not adrenalin (SP)
standard Shocks with in good condition as far as i can tell
standard springs

i have heard that loweing the front 2" and the rear 1.5" is good any 1 got a opinion on that and other setups? anyways i want to at least go as low as this setup


thanks anyone that replys

I've lowered my ks verada with king springs and changed the shockers to
match the springs. The spings were the variable rate ones and the shocks
are the Munroe Premium GT Gas shocks with variable damping. I needed
front camber kits as well. It was initially lowered 1.5" alround but the rear
sat too high so I changed the rear ones to 2" and the rear still sits slightly
higher but with a car full of people its quite level.

thanks for the reply

thats wierd by looking at my car just now the front looks alot higher than the back i would have thought u would have put 2" at the front anyways thanks for the reply again :)

cheers

That just means that your rear springs have sagged. The weight ratio F/R
is approx 60/40 on the magnas so even with a full tank of petrol and no
person in the car my rear is still slightly higer then the front. Then again,
the verada has more weight up front then a magna.

I LOWERED MINE 2" FRONT AND BACK WITH PEDDERS SPRING
I HADE DONE ONLY 100,000KLM NOW I NEED TO DO THE SHOCKS AT 170,000KLM, I HAVE 17 INCH RIMS AND SCRUB EVERY TIME I TURN

God damn that's a sexy wagon!
:shock:

THX KILLBILLY , U GOING ON THE EVOLUTION CRUISE NEXT WEEK

Oh I forgot! I'll make a note of it and come to this one for once ;)

THIS WILL BE MY FIRST WITH THE CLUB , I HOPE WGNBOY IS THERE

Wagon looks bloody fantastic!!! do you have a rough price on how much the springs are nicem8 and also the brand and model number please mate

thanks mate

i used kingsprings LOW in my TS wagon...brought it down 1.5" all round.
i go super lows or even lower on a TS...look fatter...i ended up chopping my rear springs so it brought it down anoth 2.5"

On the topic of lowering, I went to the mag wheel and tyre centre Prospect
to get a rotation and balance and saw a photo of a red TL Magna VR AWD
on their wall of fame. Its been lowered 1.5" and fitted with 18" wheels
(looks similar to TJII VRX wheels but the spokes are flared out more at
the rim). Now correct me if i'm wrong but I read somewhere that the AWD
cannot be lowered and fitted with larger wheels due to clearance problems
but the owner of MWTC said there were no problems.

im lowering my TS with king springs, they arent in yet but ive done a rough photoshop of it and its gunna look ****ing mean. PHAT AS!!

King Springs 'Super Low' at the front
King Springs 'Lows' at the rear

i also have the entire 2004 catalogue for king springs and whiteline
