Hey guys,

If i have standard shocks (not tems or air bag) and i put the "low" king springs in will there be any hassles?

And with the stiffer springs will it make my car get less traction as it can't "squat" as much to put weight on the rear wheels?

Thanks guys

kings are very soft still, 7.x and 3.x kg

They will make very little differnece to launch traction, being lowered they would be worse for launch too, but Im sure your car isnt even making 200 rwkw etc

haha i think you're mistaken about the power.....

I know for a fact it has enough to beat a TT running 16 pound with ease.

I have them in my car mate and they are PUUURFECT i reckon. They are not too stiff but also heaps firmer than stocko jobs.

I reckon they are matched perfectly to the Soarer's weight and i would recommend them to anyone.

I doubt very much they would have a negative effect on your traction also... tyres and diff will sort that out brother

well tyres are 265 on the rear and i have a torsen type 2 LSD. I'll see how it rides with the new wheels and then probably go to the low king springs depending on the ride. Thanks guys

skip the lowered springs and bite the bullet and go coilovers ~$1k, the change from lowered tems, to coilovers was amazing.
