Hi and welcome.

Definately looks aftermarket or chopped. Can you post a pic of the spring itself?

will get one today and put it on 4 ya

Hmmm, I might borrow this thread after (hopefully) yours has been solved and do the same myself.

I know mines got something after-market on it (they're bright red) but have absolutely no idea what; same situation as the OP, except I bought mine from a dealer who didn't know what the previous guy had done to it. :)

Basic colours to brands:

Yellow = King Springs
Blue = Lovells
Red = Most likely Pedders

Those are some of the common brands and colours you'd find around.

looks like super lows to me, a bit sagged on the rear as normal

bit of a shabby picture but best i could get considering i couldnt fit me camera and couldnt b bothered jacking it up.

lovelle's from wat ppl are saying but i dont know cause they are prob old dont know how much but

tossing up to save for rims next or for engin mods(bored throttle body, cam upgrade etc)

in 18's to so u's know

Hmm - lovells are more of a sky blue colour and they look more aqua?

Definately aftermarket though.

dont know how long the springs have been in the car they may have gotten lighter cause they older.

i was thinking that you might of had whiteline springs in your car
but the spring is a lighter blue so maybe lovells?

If this is the car I think it is they're lovells and they've been cut.

do you want to elaborate on that, or just leave us all wondering..

yes i would like to know how u know if they are cut?
i am getting new shocks soon they'd b ablke to see when they change them for me wouldnt they i hope they aint cut means more money out of my saving towards rims and performance...
damn it! :shock:

Hey Sorry to hijack the post, but I've taken pics of my springs, I've got these Yellow ones all the way around, just wanted to know if they King Springs? (I only thought they might be because someone else on the post said that Yellow springs were normally King Springs) They are pretty hard and handle well, but I want to raise the car a bit because it scrapes on EVERYTHING and I'm worried it will damage something.

The car sits lower at the front for some reason, so I was thinking of just raising the front to match the back, can anyone tell me if this is possible?

cut = not good.
you'd better elaborate for the new owners (yz666) benefit
plus we are all curious :P

Welcome to the forum, what can i say she looks great lowered, but if it scrapes on everything, your bound to damage something, so id raise it if it was mine and i had the cash, either way nice car, congratz :)

if its lower in the front youv probably got king superlows on the front and king lows on the rear, its a popular combo on here because at stock height there is a bigger gap between hub to wheel arch at the front wheels. plus king springs dont make superlows

I would be guess that is Lovells

they are the dobinson springs

Ah thanks Reup, so if I get a set of King Lows for the front this will even things up?? Not hugely fussed about the gaps between hub and arch, more worried about the scratches I'm putting on the bottom of the front bumper everytime I go up my driveway, bastard thing is just stupidly low!!

Did we ever get clarification from PIV on the "If its the car I'm thinking of..." comment? Yz666 seems happy enough with his cars height, but it might help him to know if someone has done something nasty to it before he got it
