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

Cheers

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

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 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
