dobis are crap

had a customer come in today that got some off us over a year ago (TRD were out od stock and he didnt wanan wait) just failed a WOF cause they have sagged, where it was about 110mm when fitted, it now sits at about 90mm.

for a good ride and handing, you need quality, kings are not quality

bollocks

iv had personal experience with them. and iv always considered them crap.

if you want good handling and good ride (go hand in hand imo) then stay away from kings.

pervert you have shown again again you know nothing about suspension :roll:

Plenty of people who have dedicated local car club type cars run Kings, and are perfectly happy with them, so they can't be all that horribly dangerous on a fully street driven car... :roll:

That's rich coming from Mr Mature...especially as you will now PM a moderator bitching about me being mean to you (again), when I never resorted to petty name calling, not to mention cuss words on the forum... :lol:

Kings is a well established company, been around for years...there's a huge number of cars getting around with Kings in them, you would have to at least realise that... :roll:

If they were so shockingly bad, then you'd hear a lot more past and current owners bad mouth them, but MOST speak quite highly of them...

But then again, you're "Mr Revhead, Motorsport Authority", when really all you do is sell parts... :roll:

Haha they are not that bad. Mine dont seem as good as my b&g's but then the kings are older and have a lower spring rate. I think if they were such shit people would soon catch on.... then again... meh.

For anyone interested, "King Springs" was established in 1956, so if they are that bad, they're doing well to last all this time... :lol:

when did i ever
PM a moderator bitching about me being mean to you (again)


fact is pervert your contribution to this board is nothing more than telling ppl to compress superlows and sarcastic comments.
oh and mutliple :lol: posts.

most ppl who have had kings have never had anything else.... drive a car with GOOD springs and you will never go back.

when you can come to me with facts instead of making stuff up... then ill listen to you.

But then again, you're "Mr Revhead, Motorsport Authority", when really all you do is sell parts...


when did i ever claim such a thing?
there you go again.. making stuff up... twisting the truth....

if you having anything more to say, PM me. and try to use some facts eh? the dream world you live in doesnt interest me

I'm not interested in carrying it on further, you're clearly full of shit as you aren't basing your judgements on anything factual yourself, but I do ask this of you, please take your own advice, and quote some of your facts you have given so far? (Bearing in mind, this arguement is over King's quality.)

Just to clarify, is Kings being around since 1956 making "performance replacement springs, for all applications" not factual?

:lol: Hmmm.... most amusing. :lol:

Warwick: Don't worry dude, we all know Pervy's years of experience with suspension have made him one of the best spokespeople out there when it comes to altering a cars suspension. :roll: His attitude and advice given are the number 1 reason why the government and police want to make it legal for car enthusiasts to modify their cars. While the rest of us try to prove that our cars, that have been professionally modified to high standards of safety and reliabilty, are safe for the road, the other idiots out there try to take the cheapest and in most cases stupid route. This cheaper route just becomes ammo for the media and police alike to stop us doing what we like best. At the end of the day... we know we are right.

Everyone else: I wouldn't listen to the likes of Pervert. His knowledge of modifing a vehicles suspension, other than the odd KE70, would fit solely on a 5c piece. Talk to the experts first, their knowledge and advice is far more intellegent than some backyard cowboy's pityful efforts.

Pervert: RANGI!!!!

That is all. Thankyou.
