hey guys.

thinking of getting some new springs to lower it for a nicer look. not going to do coilovers, coz im just using it for daily driving.

my mate owns his own mechanic shop and is getting it trade price for me.

first of all. what brand ?

Kings or Lovells ?

im just getting "sports" low which has said to be 45mm at the front and 35mm at the back roughly. which should sit nice amd evenly i think.

both have been quoted at 120$ for front set and 140$ for the back ( i think). so all up fully installed for 300$

just wondering how low have most of you gone ? and what brand should be better as ive heard kings "sagg"..

Thanks in advanced for any help!

Sauce.

Hey mate,

My Gen3 Wagon has King Spring Super Lows in it. And i wouldn't mind lowering it a bit more.
I mean, it has an awesome ride height now, but a tad lower would do the trick.

Throw in the greens, green peace, unhcr, save the forking children and I've well and truly hit my limit for the number of fuckstains wanting me to sign something or give money. Seriously cubts,  :fork: right off.

I put pedders springs in mine, they were roughly $100 a corner just for the springs and put them in myself. Saved $600.
I saw lovells have lowered springs for the liberty which I was looking at much cheaper than the pedders.

All wheels tuck, just perfectly.. especially the front.


KSFL-22 for the fronts (impreza springs).
KSRL-27 for the rears.

The rears could be a fair bit lower, I am considering chopping them cause I can't afford coilovers.. that extra inch is all I want.

Those wheels aren't tucking - or am I missing something?

I'm with the JimmyBobby. No tuck.

Its really simple guys.

Go to Allsprings.

Either get a set of coils made up to your specifications. (ie your height requirements)

Or get your existing coils reset to your specifications (ie your height requirements)

Be warned: Your car won't handle as well, when you sack the sh1t out of it.

Like Alex said, custom made are the way to go, and usually end up being around the same price as the kings equivalent but you can get them made at any height.
