Lowering my car

[davidha91]

Guys, i'm planning to lower my Del Sol on kings springs as i'm on a budget. Are they reliable?

Cheers

Definately mate,heaps of guys run them,I've had them for 3 years.

Great springs.There are better (offcoarse) but kingys are great!

We aren't no ayrton senna :)

king springs are reliable, its the shocks you should be worried about.

[davidha91]

I was planning to use OEM shocks with them.

I had OEM shocks (80,000kms-120,000kms) with my king lows.Was good but I would replace the shocks with KYB gas shocks at least.They are meant to be a replacement of your stock shocks.

I have that setup now (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125160) and it's very comfortable with great handling.

Oh, how much does your lows drop by? I have a pretty big gap in between my wheels and guard. Where do you grab those shocks from and how much?

1-1.5"

I paid $450 from a member on here,but maybe start a WTB thread.

Most suspension shops should sell them too.So U could just go to where ya gonna get em' fitted and ask if they do.

I have a 45 profile on my tyre,so the gap is a bit bigger.Next tyres will be 50 profile,so they will fill the gap out a bit :thumbsup:

[davidha91]

Okay cheers for that. I'll probably just grab the springs first and see how i go from there.

[beeza]

Ur Welcome :)

It's best to do them both at the same time though,save on install cost.

[davidha91]

Nah cos my dad going to fit it for me that's why so its all good

[beeza]

Nice,GO DAD! :)

How many km's on your stock shocks atm?

[davidha91]

its like almost 170km on the cluster

[beeza]

Damn,I would forsure change the shocks.You will notice a nice change over those old things!

[davidha91]

haha you reckon? i'll try start a wtb thread now. see if i can get any cheap ones. btw those shocks fit any car or do i have to get specific ones that will fit on my del sol?

[beeza]

Definately will be a nice improovement!

They will make the shock for all different types of cars so U wont have a problem.

Del sol,nice :)

They just grow on ya those cars,got any pics of her?

i was looking at getting king springs for my EG sedan because i have them on my liberty and they are not bad at all

than i found some skunk2 lowering springs cheap so im looking at getting them instead for something different

[davidha91]

how much are the skunk2 ones? i can grab a set of king lows for $245.

[beeza]

^^ Second hand U can!

[TheSaint]

skunk2 lowering springs brand new are $175USD from where im getting them from
2.5" Front and 2.25" Rear drop

thats a bit low for me ... i might have to change my mind back to kings =/
