King springs

[Frankie]

Hi i need a bit of help i got a front set of superlow king springs for my Ek part number is KMFL-58A but the part number suppose to be KHFL-58A does any know why it is different????? ps these springs are made with the new generation X5k High Stress steel




Another question i got the Rear springs part number KHRL-59 without the high stress steel X5k and it looks and feels different to one with the high stress steel, it is thinner and springs arnt hard i can compress them a bir with my hands but wit the front ones i cant

is it unsafe to install because the rear springs look unsafe????

[nick_sixx]

the rears wont be unsafe, just softer than the front. get dobinsons or something for the rear. or if its in your budget, get adjustable shocks

[Frankie]

it will be bouncer at the back wont it

[nick_sixx]

i guess you could say that...it will be most noticable if you have a car full of people.

[xxxlude]

The rear springs will always be softer then the front unless the Engine is MR, Correct Me if im Wrong.

[Frankie]

yeh but the rear springs are different thickness to the front the rears are thinner front thicker.. is that normal not not

[vinnY]

yes its normal

[Frankie]

i dont know if i should put them in

[Frankie]

Okay just spoek to a guy from king springs it will be fine

[nick_sixx]

not saying it wont be fine, but as if a guy from king springs is going to say 'no, king springs are dangerous'. its better to ask around first before you go to the manufacturer.

[55EXX]

the rear has less weight over the wheels therefore a softer spring can be used and softer spring = smaller and thinner coil

no i rang them up to ask them if the old king sprigns can go with the new ones he said that it is fine

[MikeyG]

when u get ur springs.. get koni shocks.. then safe.. then get tein coilovers dude.! then boost ur d series

[Frankie]

Yeh i think migth get Koni's
what you reakon of getting konis over ebay

[vinnY]

pm blitz
i think he's still selling his koni's with neuspeed springs

[Frankie]

Yeh i just had a look i can get them cheaper off ebay..... which shocks are better bilstein or koni yellow

For the King spring setup the suspension company I went to suggested Koni yellow struts with the install back when I was looking at them, I only didn't get them as Koni springs were also there with a deal at the time. But if you want more drop go the King springs as Koni's are only minimalistic (30-40mm). My front end is low enough that when it parks will hit the parking concrete pieces in the lots with an oem CTR front lip, the back is still too high imo, at times I wish I got the super low springs.

sell them to me :) im after a set of supewr low king springs :)

[4age8u]

yeah i got kings on my eg with 17s i wish i had superlows but hey better than 4wd

[Frankie]

yeh i have the super lows already just need the shocks

[EK1.6LCIV]

Just order them through Fulcrum or Ebay whichever you'd prefer, but Fulcrum have great service

[Frankie]

how much does fulcum sell the koni yellow for

[vinnY]

email them to check? or even call them

they sell for like $450US in the states, so you might be better off getting it from the states

[Frankie]

its about same price from the states

Hi i need a bit of help i got a front set of superlow king springs for my Ek part number is KMFL-58A but the part number suppose to be KHFL-58A does any know why it is different????? ps these springs are made with the new generation X5k High Stress steel


AFAIK the 'M' in KMFL-58A denotes manufacture name. This case it's mazda.
Honda springs they are all 'H'. Get KHFL-58A.

[Frankie]

yeh mazda or mitsubishi........ but it was a mis print on the springs because the last number dont match the anythign except honda

[vinnY]

if you're in doubt, take it back to the seller?
would solve a lot of problems

[Frankie]

iam not in doubt any more so they should be fine when i install them...

[vinnY]

time to stop posting and get them installed
then post back with pics ;)

[Frankie]

lol yeh i know
will do when i get my shocks... than i will post some pics of it sitting on my stockies

As has correctly been pointed out, According to King Springs catalog, each manufacturer has its own abbreviation eg. KMFL is for Mazda, KHFL is for Honda, etc.

So this means you got Mazda springs.

Also I got some Lower Springs for my ED (EF). KHFL-58 and KHRL-59 and if you contact King Springs they will tell you the spring rates. Mine were

KHFL-58 : 240lbs/inch or 4.29kg/mm

KHRL-59 : 145lbs/in or 2.59kg/mm

so you can see the rears are always much softer on a front wheel drive car.
