Need help comparing my car as it looks like a 4WD i reckon!! :?

Looking for pics of a 3rd Gen dropped 30mm on King Springs
There suppose to be the KCFL-42SP & KCRL-42SP model springs

Preferrably with 17 rims and 235/45 tyres!

Reason being, i am suppose to have the above but my car looks like a 4wd . See da pic!

Back is maybe ok but come on, the front!!???!?

That doesn't seem right to me at all hey...

Have you tried swapping the springs front to back by chance?

See Pic - Front: King's Super Low & Rear: King's Lows

Yeah see there superlows at the front of yours. I was expecting in between stock and what you have. Look at what i got.

Thanks for your suggestion of swapping from front to back but if you saw the difference between the two sets you'd realise that it is imposible to fit the wrong set at the wrong end of the car ..

Dunno what im guna do with it ](*,)

When i asked the kingspring authorized-dealer to put SP ones... they didnt, they said 'they will fix it up so it will good and handle well'. haha they wrote up a letter saying it was 30mm (insurance purposes), but it was definitely more closer to 40mm, especially at the front. I dont have a digi camera, but the differences in the gap between front/rear wheels much closer than in yours, meaning the front of yours needs to be lowered bigtime. the back looks fine :P

she's got springs in it,
i ordered king springs superlow, and low. chucked them in, and they seemed to take up the sag from the stock springs, (hence me not happy) i took them back out and had them lowered another 2" on top.

now i am happy. it grips in corners awesome, but i dont have good shocks, still got the factory stockers. from 150K's ago, and i have not been nice to them.... heheh (lol)

cant wait to do a suspension upgrade. sway bars F&R, and new shocks and strut brace, that should make it "comfortable".....

I realise i have a lowered overall tyre/wheel diameter than stock tyre/wheels but, when i measured from the ground to the guard on a stock TJ it was the same as mine. They were definitly King Springs put in and labeled with the correct model number but thats bullshit hey?
