Been. Having trouble fitting wheels on my wifes m35 stagea when you lower the rear do the wheels pull in much . Put a 9.5. Plus 38 on rear hangs out stock height. If I lowered it would this wheel sit in gaurd again

the wheels do tuck in more when lowered...............

Get adjustable coilovers,

For the price, I don't think adjustable suspension is always what's needed.

Sure, they're handy for the adjustability, but really who adjusts theirs often enough? Every set i've had has stayed at the lowest point lol. Except in the RX7, but slightly different application to a road car.

You can pick up lowering springs for under $300nzd these days, plus replacement Koni/KYB shocks aren't that expensive...

And really, they had no listings for V35 King Springs? I've priced them up through Repco...

V35 springs may well be too soft at the back, mine were. The fronts were too low for everyday driving, I had to put a spacer above the spring. The BC's cost me $1200, not much more than a set of V35 King springs cost and I can set them up however I want.

Geez, what you paying for springs then?

From Repco, King Springs are $140NZD a pair. Cobra a little cheaper but sag.

I think I paid $350au a pair for the kings on my Soarer, that was a while ago though. I cant imagine they are $100 now, we get ripped over here for most parts. Still, my point is the V35 rear spring rates aren't suited to our wagons.

Suited to who's liking? :P

I really should stay away from posting here... The info is very helpful, but the people are much to opposite.. I'm looking for the lowest, most unpractical, clunking, banging, scraping M35 there is... lol

You need to look at the tyre charts for your particular tyre - if you use a wider tyre with a lower profile the rolling diameter (which is what matters) may be able to be equalised front and rear.

e.g. (and I haven't checked to see if this works) Front 8in 235 45 17 Rear 8.5in 255 40 17 may be close enough. If you use the same sized tyres the rears will be a little more stretched and the height reduced - you might get away with it but I wouldn't risk it.
