Default Re: Ford Falcon BA-FG Coilovers

Brett are these kits the same for both BA and FG? My FG is stock atm, but my G220 has kings and konis. I'm running 340-345 ride height at all corners. The rear is good, but the front could be better, on rougher roads its hitting the isolators fairly hard even with the superpro shortened bump stops. Front Kings are KFFL-57X (thinking of changing to KFFL-57/520s for the higher spring rate but not sure if this will be a lot better or not, I think I really need a shorter shock body to make this system work.
I've recently been told by both Koni and Bilstein people that due to the geometry of the front suspension on BAs (not sure about FGs) ride height lower than about 340 can damage balljoints and other components and that's why they don't make shorter bodied shocks - can you shed any light on this please?
