OK, having both fairlanes still, Im getting a bit annoyed at how HIGH the fbt sits compared to my sportsman.
Basically the thought has gone through my head that it needs to be lower even thought it drives awesomely stock.. Its already a firm ride stock, infact i find it firmer than my superlows/monroe setup in my sportsman; only things is i would like to know what you guys would do. Ie: should i leave it stock n just put up with it, and if not what brand products, how much lower.. the usuals. Keeping in mind i dont want a rough bouncy ride, yet no so soft i bottom out lol! Also one thing is i DO NOT wish to have my tyres mashing the front gaurds, will this be a problem with 17x7.5 rims? Looking forward to your personal opinions, as i cant make up my own mind!

On superlows you may have to roll the guards.. Lows should be fine as long as you have some neg camber! However I think I'd stick with stock suspension, just get good shocks.

Hrm, well it already has good shocks, handles awesome - if i were to keep anything id keep the whole things.
Altho i think you are right with the superlows being too low

Well i can't tell you really as i don't know how low it is compared to the sportsman, Why don't you gety airbags they look sweet ride height won't be a problem, but funds will. Just an idea
 .
How sweet would it look to have two fairlanes in your front yard.

bah, airbags, thats way too good for me or my cars!
Nah, i dont plan to spend THAT much on susp as its already sweet, this is only for looks not performance. Ive got picks of both cars side by side, but nowhere to hose em.. 
I cant afford to go superlows and have it too low/uncomfortable, my parents thought i made my sportsman crazy low and that im nuts to do it again, altho they do not see it from the looks side of things what so ever. 
Anyone know of some springs that sit in between lows and superlows? apart from pedders$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Get lows, and the springs will end up sagging a bit. And if you have audio in the boot. It'll make it sit a bit lower.
But lower it, nonetheless!

Get some progressive rate springs custom wound to a height of your choice, i think Kmac do them
Or, buy Lovells superlows. They tend to be not as low as the Kings superlows
