Haha, half my pics are gone! I used Photobucket during my Liberty build days and that account has gone :(

That was King Spring Low's (not super lows or anything, just the step down from OEM size). + 18" wheels.

 

 

As a daily, they're not bad over all. I just found that they're very bouncy on bumpy roads. Which Sydney has may too many of hahaha..

 

Like when I was doing 110 down the M5 and there was a small hump in the road, I felt I was gonna start flying!

Though that could've been my shocks...

 

But then again, what's your budget?


I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.

You can pick up gen 3 blistian shocks for a good price lately, that coupled with some kings would ride ok.

I have wrx shocks in mine with sti springs it rides nice and frim, basically no bounce. I have a gen 2 so the suspension set up is different, although you can get pink sti springs for the gen 3

If you're saving for coilovers, don't waste the $300 or so on springs...

 

I only did the springs because I bought all 4 off a member here for $50 and installed them myself. Plus the $70 for a wheel alignment after..

 

I believe it's the standard 30mm drop of the King Spring Low's?

 

Like I said, could've been the shocks as well. But I had a few other suspension mods and the car was quite stiff otherwise.

Just get your stock springs compressed. Only costs about $80 a pair and they can do whatever height you like within reason.

I have some Gen 3 King Springs I don't need... Just saying. They're not the super lows. I had them on the B4 Bilstein shocks and the ride was nice and firm. Not bouncy at all.


I think tuning is a crime of passion, or maybe a labour of love. Either way it furiates and excites me.
