king springs

Hi guys, I want to put some king spring super lows on my EF2 ghia because its riding up like a monster truck. I was wondering where the best place to get them is and how much they'll cost? Im in Melbourne BTW.

Thanks
Nick

Re: king springs

Whilst on the subject, how low are super lows. I have a moderately, lowered vehicle unfriendly driveway. Almost lost the exhaust a few times with my old EA so don't want knee knocker low.

Re: king springs

superlows will generally have the tyres at eye level with the guards or slightly lower.

Re: king springs

How much does it specifically drop the height though. I dont want to go to Kings Lows and find that it still looks high, but dont want to lose the exhaust either. Visually, what EFFalcon describes sounds great!

I have a moderatly steep driveway. My old man's sprint is pretty low, the top of the tyre is just visible and he makes it up fine. Maybe the super lows would be sweet on my car. It'll look PHHHHAT as! Anyway, back to the original questions where and how much for the springs?

Re: king springs

my EF is currently 2 finger widths between the tyre and guard at the front on EL XR springs.
couldn't get my fingers between my mates car with superlows in it

considering the EF II ghia has tickford suspension already getting Lows wouldn't make much of a change ( may even raise the car a little due to stock springs sagging) so i'd deffinately look at superlows.

Yeah I have the Tickford Suspension and heavy duty shockers if that makes a difference... :/

How much do the springs usually go for?
