The Kings Springs with the part number you have there I understand have a more progessive wind to the coil but aren`t particularly heavier than stock. If you`re just after a nicer look, it`ll all be good.Mate has those same coils ( he might have SL`s on the front ) of his BF MkII XR8 with the stock shocks and its all rosy.Depends on the klms you car has on it, maybe you might consider upgrading while your under there.
