Anyone got any thoughts on which is better?

Well the 2 places im looking at, 1 stocks KING, the other has LOVELL they are around the same price :
~$480 superlows fitted with 4 wheel alignment (note: its for my brothers sr20DE pulsar, not a corolla, may be price diff)
Its just that we can get a guild 10% discount from the place that stocks the LOVELLS, so wanted to know if they were up to scratch.
Cheers

Where have people found that sell cheap Kings/Lovells?
I got quoted $140/pair of Kings 1.5" lower and progressive rate, but this is not including fitting i think?

I got a pair of super low king springs for $115 a pair for my old VL in Lismore from Pat & Roy's. They are a Bridgestone place.
They quoted me $115 but when they ordered them the price went to $130 but a bit of talk got them back to $115.

well, i just dumped some kings in and, for road driving (not track) theyre bloody good. ride quality is what youd expect with low and stiff, so go figure.
never tried lovells, but these things are fine for me. cheap too.
cheers

Nothing wrong with king springs. I have used them in many different types of cars, from supras, to celicas to lasers.
My daily driver (Ford Laser) has been lowered 3.5 inches on king springs. Drives nearly as good as my new Supra which has Bilstein racing suspension.
But thats just my opinion.
