Anyone help with this King spring code?
G'day,
My rear end on Ruby Scoo doesn't sit as high as I'd expect it to - I got the springs second hand in another subi that also had the lift kit that Ruby Scoo sports now.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this code is for lifted or upgraded springs rather than just a replacement set:
KSRS-03
Cheers
Bennie

85-94 L SERIES LEONE S/WAGON KFFS-45 KSRS-03
listing only had these springs, and they were standard height.
From what I've noticed, the kings part Nos work something like this...
KSRS = Kings Subaru Rear Standard
(fwiw the KFFS-45 is the same part as the fwd Ford Capri)
I got this out of a .pdf that was the 2003 kings catalogue

Bugger! Thought as much as it can't really hold a load without sagging in the rear - it looks saggy most of the time.
It also turns out that my front springs are standard replacements too which I'm not bothered about. Just wanted my rear to be upgraded for better lift and load carrying for offroading. Longer shocks may give me the better lift but it won't do anything for my loaded sag that occurs - except the possibility of bottoming out the shock and destroying it
And the best bit is that there's no lifted item listed for the L series - or am I mistaken? If I ask my local parts guy is he going to find anything?

lovells might do them...although i think theyre discontinued and lovells are POS.
kings can make up a higher spring rate shock for basically the same price as new standards(youd have to go thru king directly though)
otherwise i heard sumwhere that the front springs off a civic or sumthing fit in the rear of a l-series and give lift.
edit: i ran the l-series 2wd shocks with king standard rear springs and never bottomed out, it was also super stiff. Maybe your springs are just shagged out.
