Kings Springs - MATCHING SHOCKS?

[SLY33]

What shocks are suitable for the lowered Kings springs?? I need a new set to match the new spring rate, (im using LOWS), and my original shocks are probably pretty worn).

I know there is a huge range of adjustable coil overs, but theres no way i wanna spend 3grand on a set of these. (i also dont want a second hand set).

are there any cheap "new" alternatives, such as an aussie product?

I was after a set of adjustable KYB SS's, as used on HPI's project R34, but i cant seem to find anyone to get them for me, also have no idea how much they cost. I want something adjustable, so when im at the strip i can go softer for better launching. -Does this work?? or is the softer setting on these types of shocks still pretty firm?? If thats the case, i dont really need adjustables

I know that stacks of skyline owners use Kings Springs, so let us know what you guys are using.

Cheers, SLY

I don think you will be able to get something that will be good for the strip and still provide good handling.

You could try a set of whiteline spring and bilstein shocks, these are not adjustable but that are matched and provide really good handling. There not that stiff so you can get good traction. I can get good prices on whiteline stuff so let me know if you want any info.

Clint, i am very interested! How much am i looking at for bilsteins?? I know bilstein has a killer reputation.

I think the Kings springs (lows) would be similar to the whiteline springs, as the hub-to-guard measurements are exactly the same. I dont think spring rate would vary by much, so they should go together well.
