fyi i can get kings cheap too, i just refuse to sell them as i dont beleive in them.

thats right, i cant supply the best for every application. but as i can get quite a lot, more often than not, i can supply

I've had experience with nearly all brands of springs, custom made ones too.. and I still rate King springs over all of them, especially with a decent set of shocks. I haven't driven anything that comes close to them, in terms of handling.. and in my opinion, if you want a comfortable ride, then buy a Windom, you poofter. :roll:

i said ride quality..... you can have good handling springs that dont spoil ya ride, thats were TRD ones excell. kings are rough. kings dont rate on a road car. especially when compared to TRD, eibach etc etc

ive always thought kings are good in big heavy cars, i had kings in my old falcon and they transformed that completely. nice ride, nice and low, i had no complaints at all.

used kings in a prelude, absolute shit. cut springs would have been better imo.

different brands will suit different applications...
