hey mate i have read through a lot of your threads i am trying to do the front and back suspention mods with slight variations as i am from australia, eg i will be using KING SPRINGS instead of the moog nappa brands.
L series Front & Rear Suspension Ford & Honda King springs
So ive just purchased online KDFS-14 & KHFS-58King springs for my L series wagon. I tried to source some second hand ones from Perth Wreckers but it was half the price to get them new after postage up to KARRATHA
And my Question is...
KDFS-14 are the ford laser springs that will be going in the front, Has anyone fitted a new pair of these not second hand?
And the same for Brand new KHFS-58 the Honda civic springs that will be going in the Rear?
after alot of thought..
ive also purchased new struts front brumby adjustable (thanks to FROG) backthe 2WD sedan ones to gain more height
he said the KSRS-03* would actually be stiffer because 9.5turns is stiffer than 11turns..
i asked him twice to make sure i didnt miss hear him but thats what he said!
can anyone shed some light on this?
i can see how the extra 100 mm on the rear will lift.. but only an extra 25mm on the front and a loss of 45lbs carring weight i cant see how they will sit any higher if not a lot lower..
have i just wasted money on new springs that will do less than before!?
