If people don't quote brand and part numbers of springs used and just post pictures what's the point?Kings, Lowells, pedders all differ and are different heights when comparing SL, SSL, SSSL etc.As a price guide use this:- a full set of king springs is under $200 trade- with a hoist and proper tools a shop will take 2hrs max to fit a set of springs (labour varies from $80-120 per hr)- a wheel alignment is approx $80If you are paying over $450 for supply and install of a set of springs only (no wheel alignment), I hope your friendly mechanic is supplying the lube. Show me where you can buy a set of four king springs for under 200 dollars please? I'd love to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid just over that retail (10-15%) so there must be something in it for the people who sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droF Donating Members 32 Member For: 14y 1m 25d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 24/01/13 07:19 AM Share Posted 24/01/13 07:19 AM You sure you got this the right way around ?Yep. I tried multiple springs to get the right setup.(3 sets) The Kings HD springs due to the spring rate, especially for the front, are not designed for the six's.(King springs said this not me) They are designed for the V8 (heavier front end). If installing on the sixes you need to add an extra "S" ie SSSL to get the height where you want it. Initially I tried the SSL and the height was good but the ride I found not firm enough so I ordered the SSLHD thinking that it would sit at the same height but slightly firmer. Car sat slightly higher than standard. Then ordered a custom set of SSSL HD with an extra 10mm lower(equates to approx SSSSL HD). Each to their own, but I find the ride, although slightly firmer much better than the non HD springs. You will be surprised how much less you bottom out/scrap with the HD springs than the standard non HD springs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
