Super low king Spirngs

[DogAteCat]

are shocks a must for say a 2" drop with stock shocks gone 120,000? From the quotes I've gotten for spring/shock combo, it blows up to around 800+. A couple hundred more and I've got myself coilovers....

^ anyone able to help me out

its not a must but it does help to change them because the comfort of the ride wont be very good and you will put alot of stress on the poor stock shocks and wear them out

Thanks for that. Also, is there a definitive way to know if your shocks are blown/near blown?

And is it actually possible to drive with blown shocks? Just weighing in my options.

ur shocks will be pissing out oil like no tomorrow. and your ride will be soft and squeek.

Because there is no dampening, everything else will suffer - i.e. bushings, cv joints, etc, that end up taking the brunt of the dampening.

you can lower just on springs first, but be prepared to invest in another set of shocks in the future.

Man you will be able to tell by the rid it will be very bouncy.... you will be able to tell your shcoks are blown by all the dropping of oil you leave everywhere.....

I'm running Super Low King Springs on my Ek combined with Koni Yellow adjustables dumped as low as possible (See avatar) and my car handles like a dream.
Only problem is there isn't even a fingers width of room between the rear guards and tires. I had to have the front guards rolled in order to be able to turn at full lock =P

All in all I would recommend King Springs if you don't mind a hard ride and want less body roll. I think they work pretty damn well.

They work well because you've got awesome dampers to match with them.

This pretty much applies to most springs out there.

yeh if ya change springs change shocks to get a more comfortable ride and better quality ride


wat do people thing of king springs on Monroe Gt-Gas

Consider Bilstein or Koni shocks.

Both available through Whiteline I think. They also offer springs.

Teins also make springs called, S-Tech.
