lowering springs for ke70 wagon

[dx_conversion_4age]

hey well some around must have lowered there ke70 wagon. well i'm trying to find out what brand of springs offers a 50 mm drop for the frount of my wagon. if anyone knows it would save me alot of time and would be much appreciated thanks matt.

Nothing, low King Springs give a less than 30mm drop and thats about your only option without using Starlet springs, compressing, or making customs.

Got angle grinder?

i had kings in my old rolla wagn. wasnt low enough for me...

[pervert]

Compressed low's are the way to do it.

$260

$200 for the Kings, and $60 for the compressing.

[dx_conversion_4age]

thats awesome thanks guys!! well i know what i'm doing now. Tha shz, if i supply you with the springs will you be able to compress them?? if so how much?? thanks.

Why bother buying springs to get compressed when you could probably get some custom wound for a similar price, I know what I would do.

Good point purple_beasty, when I looked into that option it was around $95 a corner to have custom springs made...

[dx_conversion_4age]

so were do you get custom springs at?? preferably in auckland??

[Dell'Orto]

Go into Repco, get them to give Chamberlains a call for you - they do Cobra springs, and they can do all kinds of custom heights for a nominal price.

cheers guys

let us know what happens, im in need of a 80mm drop in my dx, would be interesting to see how much rewounds are, as $80 bucks for compressing down here is a bit shitty considering ill get major bump stopage on normal rate springs

snells springs in penrose make them to spec, 220 for the last pair i got done.

but you gotta tell them how stiff u want them etc, just ask them to work out what ur standard ones are and add some pd to that

they also like it if you measure the compresed height in the car before you remove, that way they can work it out purfect for you.

compressing isn't a very good idea, the more you compress them the softer they get

not worth wasting ur money in my opion

i used short type 8kgTRD springs for front, ae92 shocks cut 45mm, you will have to roll the guards probably, rear i got leafes compressed /stiffined 100mm by snell springs(and shorten bumpstops). it sits way low but its real stiff so not much body roll, quite an uncomfy ride though
