Australian RWD Spring Options

[Johnny]

Currently trying to find out what options are available for springs to lower the ride height and improve handling. The Eibach and H&R springs being designed for the AWD version don't really bring it down far enough for me and close up the fender to tyre gap enough/ King springs have some available, however they are very much a third rate spring and not something I want to put on $50,000 car.

Any downunder members located anything? Anyone used the Kings and what are your opinions?

Check eBay, I came across King Springs the other day. Lowers car by 30mm.
I had them on my SS very firm, sometimes too firm, don’t know if Pedders has anything yet.

Are you sure it's only for the AWD? I thought it was for both......

The Eibach and H&R are for both, but due to the RWD being lighter they don’t lower it as much as the AWD by a fair margin.

Had Kings springs on my Wrx for 13 years and they where great. The Rex weighed 1435kg though.

I have Eibach springs and I’m super happy with the gap but each to their own.

Looks good, I like the tyre just above the guard, how is the ride now? Also where are you located, can you add your general location to your profile.

Actually that does look really good. Perhaps some of the images I've seen with more of a gap was due to a smaller wheel/tyre combo? Thanks for posting that as puts my mind at ease now and makes the choice easy.

The ride is fine it didn’t change it too much.
I’m in the western Sydney area.

That looks about right .... Did you buy local or imported?

How are those Eibachs going ? I'm tossing up between those and Kings springs.
