Yeah i have emailed John again to see if he will beat the price. Admittedly they are different brands of springs, but im happy with King's so long as it saves me a heap of money.

Will do mate.

Daniel

Have you got any pics of your ride? I dont think ive seen it..........

Is there much difference between Whiteline and King springs? I can get the Whitelines for $90 more than the Kings but i want to know if its worth it.

Thanks

Not worth the extra money, King springs are very good indeed. You just need to make sure the spring rate and ride height are the best for performance. The rule of thumb for an R33 is lower 1-1/12 inch up front. Even less on the back.

Thanks lads,

Yep well it looks like I will go with Wilkinson sometime in the next few weeks. Getting the Bilsteins shocks and King springs fitted $1270.

I think he said the Kings were lowered 35mm on a R33 for best handling which is 1.37 inch.

Depends if there aus or jap.

Aus ones, ie king , whiteline, selby etc usually have somewhere near usuable spring rates.

Most jap ones are designed for trucks ( or that's what it feels like ) so a normal bilstein may be overpowered by the very heavy jap spring rate.
