Hey All
I want to replace my Springs in my Car with some nice race springs, and also lower the Car as well, I have been recommended KingSprings. Does anyone know where to get in Sydney, or other ideas????
Thanks

Which model springs did you put in your '2? standard or lowered 40mm? Were they linear or progs? What exactly didn't you like about them? What dampers are you using? Just curious. Be interesting to see how the Whitlines compare, keeping everyhting else the same.
I am happy with the king springs in my RA65 - ~1" drop, linear rears and prog fronts. I'm not sure exactly what the drop is, I always thought they were 30mm but i think their page says 40mm for the same model now. Maybee they weren't stiff enough for you?
They were the 'closest' in spec to discontinued Eibachs (comparison on my page @ http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/springs.html)

they are progressive springs, they are also lowered by 50mm at the front at the rear its 75mm yeah its sounds extream but its not that much wheel are still above th gards and no scrubbing or lipping was needed the only thing is they are clse the bump stops, which makes it bouncy although the king springs seem to hard not enough coils were as the whiteline seem to have a few more coils but again my opinion
