Just wondering how King spings on B4 Bilsteins go. 

Good or Bad? 

I only ask because i had King Spings on my Nismo S-tune struts and was the worst ride ever.

Not sure what the spring rates are for the B4 though

I much rather go a set of STI pinks but cant find a used set

King springs are the cheeper option but is it worth it?

Beckers will be doing the same setup on his waghoon in a few weeks so unless someone else has that setup already he'd be a good person to ask

I have a set on rear STI springs for a sedan.

 

When the king springs go in, I will report back to you on the ride.

Recently I've driven a few B4's with a few different combinations of springs on Bilstein shocks.  Standard factory springs, Tein & King springs.

 

Kings are the lowest & I didn't mind them at all.  I've heard lots of negative reports about the Kings but they felt fine. I personally would go the Kings over STi springs simply because of the lower drop.

I had kings on my billies for years and didn't have any problems with them.

How far off the bump stops do the Kings go?
On the nissan they pretty much on the bump stops the whole time
