I've been driving around for 12 months or more with lowering blocks in the rear of my Super Carry but the front still stuck up at standard height. Today I decided to go through my shelf of coil springs and see if I could find something to sort that problem out. After a bit of trial and error I discovered that the same springs most MightyBoy owners end up using in the front of their utes are also suitable for a Super Carry:

King Springs KSFL12 - Suzuki Swift MK1 (1986-88)

These springs give roughly 2" drop. They're possibly a little bit on the soft side, but as an off-the-shelf solution I would recommend them. If you were keen enough then King Springs will make custom variations (for an additional cost), in which case I'd say a strength increase of 50-100 pounds would be an improvement.

Datsun 1200 ute lowering blocks fit perfect in Carrys.

Springs need time to settle before giving you the final ride height.
Also I didn't test them in an ST90 so I can't say what the result would be.

Sounds like the ST90 struts must be a bit shorter between the spring collars than an SK410.
