king springs

[raniti]

most likely a noob question but whats the going rate to get a set of king springs and get them fitted to the car (im my case an ek)?

[StrawberryFace]

ur looking at around 300 for the springs and 150 to get them fitted. mate juss look around in the forsale thread always cheap springs for sale for half the price.gl

[raniti]

cheers. yea just more interested in the installation cost. but yea dont think it will be that much

$400 fitted for my car...

Screw that "DIY" !!! do it yourself mate !

I wouldnt be paying more than $250 .

Btw in my case i took the whole suspension component off "spring,shock and strut still in one piece. Took it to a random mechanic shop as i couldnt get the bolt on top of the strut off and the allen key or "hex key" was rounded so i couldnt undo the strut bolt. Plus i had no air ratchet.

Asked them if they could undo the nuts on each strut. Took 1 min of their time, Gave them $10 and off i went.

Brand new springs, purchased and installed by somebody else at trade price, around $400 is a safe bet.

Sorry to take over this thread, but the title was appropriate for my question..

Im soon going to lower my stock height integra dc2... im only after a 1"-2" drop. nothing more. I was looking at ebay and came across these king springs

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220562514392&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

They say this drops approx 50mm both front and back which is good enough for me (i still want to get around without the worry of the car being too low)

My question is, they say 'we also can get struts and shocks to match. (CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION)'

Are these neccesary? or can i just swap the springs and thats it for now. I do know that i will need to change my shocks soon, they are still the stock ones (139xxxkm's on the car btw)

[migoreng]

50mm drop is probably the super low version..
king springs low only drops around 30mm/1.5"
you should get new shocks if you are dropping 5cm otherwise your car will bounce heaps i think.

[waffelhead]

Yeah the ebay link i posted was for super lows, they dont seem to have just 'lows'. im not after a major drop, just something small. the car already sits about 2 inche above the tyres. so lows would do the job great :) any good places to buy them in melb

and if i run just 'lows' would my stock shocks do for now?

[migoreng]

1.5" drop is fine with stock shocks.

[waffelhead]

sweet, do you know where i could pick up a set for a good price in melb? Closer to northern suburbs is good too :)
