Ok how do you do it i have been told you cant buy shortend shocks for them is this true? Im wanting the height to be rite on the legal lemit or just above to be safe and will probly just get the standard springs compresed how do you work out how much to compress them? Any other help would be great.
Cheers

AE92 front Shocks, 50mm Compressed all round, KE70 Wagon rear shocks. Have a search, the method I just said isnt highly recommended, but its one way to do it.

Shorter inserts are not listed but research with a shock book is likely to find you a suitable replacement insert.

Remember, dont compress them to the height you want dropped. Because they sag a bit after they have been in a while.

Compressed 2" In a KE70, will settle nicely and be legal.

So any insert will fit into the standard shock? im kind of confused :oops:

Any toyota insert with a 43.5mm OD, and youll just need to space it at the bottom by how ever much shorter the insert is so it doesnt bottom out.

No, because compressed are not legal without cert.
You may get away with it, but it still is not legal to have your springs heated (which is how they compress them) in any way without cert.

Very possible if done by a professional. But for the cost of cert (assuming its the only thing getting certed at the time) you would be better to get custom wound springs in whatever height/rate you want for little more than a set of Kings springs.

So if i got these custom wound springs i wouldnt have to get cert or does it make it cheaper?

by **wde_bdy** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 9:29 pm

Custom wound does not require cert as long as all the other requirements in the WoF manual are met.

by **DXROLLA** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 9:31 pm

So how much does it cost to get cert? do you need cert for king springs etc?

OMG so shiny! · by **Dell'Orto** » Mon Dec 19, 2005 9:34 pm
