Def go silver I'd say!

Something like 18x8 as a minimum :)


According to the website they only have dark gun metallic, chrome or hyper black.

The picture here is gun metal. Looks almost black on some angles..Hard to see w/o pics.

Not sure I didn't open up the boxes. What's this thing I'm looking for?

Id be interested to hear how 'stiff' the ride feels with these springs.
Cheers

Shav: Kings are in.

Not that much stiffer. Feel the road a bit more...Billies seem louder..but that's probably something that needs tightening on the front struts.

Didn't go very low..but just enough for my liking at the rear. Would be nicer if the front went slightly lower though.

Will give it another week and take a picture.

Sounds good Patrick. Thanks for the feed back. I have driven a Spec B once and found the suspension harder than stock GT suspension but still reasonable. Im just tossing up whether to go down the 'new shocks and springs' path or spend a bit extra risk a defect and opt for Kido coil overs.

How is handling? Turn in? Exist from corners?

Depends on your preferences. I was considering coils. But expensive so I stopped it there.

Springs I doubt have made a massive difference. A bit, yes. Taylor and several others have said sways are going to make the most difference. The workshop also said the same.

Haven't had time to post pictures of the Kings installed.

Think this was within the few days after installation.

Will post another up tomorrow ...not sure if there'll be much difference. Will leave it for you to judge :)

I personally think its sitting just right. Usually you wait a week for the springs to settle and take another look.

Also, did you get the Kings Low or Super Lows? Was it these model numbers? 9/03-2009 LIBERTY SEDAN 4TH GEN MY04 GT A KSFL-42 A KSRL-27 K

Shav: ill have to find the dockets. From memory the front was a different series from the back as some threads have mentioned the kings catalouge matched their springs to the non specB setup and have resulted in the fronts sitting higher than stock.

Boostaddict: yup agree

Ian: no not yet haha

Ah ok, I didnt know there was a significant difference. If you could let me know when you get the chance, that would be appreciated.
