They are a great looking wheel, and I reckon a lowered car on these is a nice package. Edited 14/06/06 05:21 AM by cobrav8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugster70 Donating Members 1,326 Member For: 19y 10m 5d Location: Canberra Posted 14/06/06 05:29 AM Share Posted 14/06/06 05:29 AM Cobra, I hear what you're saying mate. Those same problems with the larger rims (plus the extortionate/exponential increase in the cost of (decent) tyres by going up just 1") were the main reasons I chose to go for 18" rims. I dunno what the spring rates are but am surprised to hear that the King Springs are softer than stock. Purely from the feel of the car, I would say that the Kings are certainly stiffer than the factory items, but without being overly harsh. One of the more critical (in a good way) members of the forum who was against lowering cars was very impressed with the way my car drove when he took it for a spin. The springs seem to have settled over time and perhaps firmed up the ride a little more, but it's still very acceptable for daily driving and my wife has no issues with the ride quality. The King Springs are also progressive rate springs.Also, I agree with the sentiment that SSSL springs don't exist - unless they're a special order or something, 'cos they're certainly not listed in the catalogue.

The attached pic was taken a week or so after it was done and it has settled a bit more now. It not quite as low as the king set up which looks awesome, but gives a little more clearance for those who need it. Cost was about $800 - $900 parts and fitting. Some people have got away without a camber kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romulus Donating Members 1,279 Member For: 20y 2m 4d Location: Perth Posted 14/06/06 08:25 AM Share Posted 14/06/06 08:25 AM I believe the front King SL springs are rated at 400lb. You can also get 520lb and 800lb springs for the front. Not sure about the spring rate for the rears though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
