    Ek1 - King springs safe on stock shocks??

    Planning to buy king springs for my ek1
    But heard that they will be bad in the stock shocks,
    Is it actually unsafe ?
    What shocks are cheap and reliable for king springs?

    Thanks

    I think it all comes down to how low you go.

    If you go too low on stock shocks, you'll get to much play for the spring hence making it unsafe.

    I think if you kings that are just low springs (not super lows or ultra lows) you will be fine.

    any thing lower you need news shocks

    Suggest you get some TEIN S-techs, had them on my EK. They were made to work with the stock shocks. it has a progressive spring rate with 1.5" drop. It would be in your $500 budget range. Definitely better than king springs on stock shocks

    It really depend on what you have planed for your car.

    If you just want to go low with out wanting comfort you can buy a cheap springs.
    You could buy cheap sleeve coilovers if you want some adjustment


    When it comes to comfort you need to spend extra money.
