I suggest calling Whiteline as they also have the ability to make springs to your specification.

Yeah, agreed with that one... I'll be getting Kingies soon in the rear... I just need to find a good brand of shocks...
The bad thing is that you need to buy complete new struts for the new shock... So what brands of Struts/shocks are good and cheap??? Like $100 max per corner...

Before you take your spring out, measure the installed height.
Then take out your spring. Take it to your local springworks. (What? You don't know where that is? Look up the Yellow Pages under "springs".)
Tell them you want the spring x% stiffer. They will ask you whether you want the car lower, whether you have struts and what the installed height of the original spring is. You have an AE92 (struts all round) so you tell them you want the car to sit y cm or inches lower. They then make the spring. You come back at the end of the day, pay your $80-90/pair and install your new springs.
If in Melbourne, I can recommend you to a good mob thru PM.

my kingsprings suck balls
they mustnt be temped right or somthing
just bottom out over everything (with new shocks)
even under hard braking
as for the springworks idea
i highly recommend it
i used a mob in newcastle before and they did an awesome job
about $35/spring (for a MTB) i think car 1's were $45 or $50

I have nothing but good things to say about my king springs.
EMP - what car is this in, what sort of shocks, and which model of King Springs? I have the 1 inch or 30mm drop (or whatever the regular lowered ones are), progressive fronts and linear rears.
RSSTi - try emailing/phoning some other places to find out spring rates. When i was shopping for mine, I manged to get spring rates for Eibach (discontinued), Kings and Quadrant Suspension. Try Quadrant suspension actually www.quadrantsuspensions.com.au, they might be able to help you.

Did you get shocks which are suited to a 2-3 inch drop?
If you just had the standard shocks installed they wont give any resistance at all as they will always be fully compressed, there will be no shock absorber piston travel.
I had progressive rate 1 inch drop in my old car, it railed when u went hard but you have to select a different shock to suit the task.

is that so, when my mate took the car back for warranty, the bloke there told him this was the 5th time this year they had someone come back with a snapped spring, luckly my mate was not travelling at speed, or death may have come before its time.
