spoon progressive springs on stock shocks...
kg/mm springs on stock shocks as well...

both are dc2r...firmer ride...lowers about 25-30mm all round and the ride is still comfortable...

i heard wen using lowering springs it is going to shorten the lifespan of ur shocks considerable no matter what brand you use as or how soft or hard it is...

Ive got kings super lows with stock shocks, looks great and helps it handle better but the ride is very uncomfortable for daily driving.

hehehe, so when u putting your spoon progressives on mate!!!

but seriously, the kg/mm springs are gold. still retains OEM feel but firmer, especially around corners. as far as i know, there is no official distributer of kg/mm springs in aus but jdmyard may be able to get more of them

not enough shock travel, but im sure a good set of springs like kg/mm and spoon progressives will last long. they dont sag like king springs or jumboz. you get what you pay for spoon is over $600, whilst the king springs are $300 fitted at some places
