Springs - Lowering

Post by Marc »

Need some advice.

Looking to get my Staz sitting a bit lower and change springs.

What is the lowest i can go with King Springs that will still be practical for daily driving?

Thanks so much! :D

king springs only come in one height for starions.
About 2" lower however, given he sagging springs on the 25 year old starion you may find the front actually sits 5mm higher, as they did in my case.
Powerplant: Chipped stock ECU, 2044cc, 8.5:1, head intake enlarged and polished, exhaust manifold enlarged,
Balance-shafts eliminated, Intercooled, TC06 @ 10psi, 2.5" high flow exhaust system and dump pipe.

gday sam,
king springs available from repco, or any decent parts store, but they are an australian company, so you may have to cross-reference these part numbers over to another brand,
front springs - KCFS 08 standard
KCFL 08 lowered 25-30mm from standard
rear springs - KCRS 18 standard
KCRL 18 lowered 25-30mm

usually cost about $120-$140 for a pair

94 EVO2 4g63 DOHC
i wanna go fast

Anyone ever installed super low's?

I sometimes think it would have been better going with the super lows as the lowered king springs I have put look like they still have the same ride height as before.

If they aren't low enough there are places that can change them (Industrial Springs, SA) can reset spring rates and height to whatever you want.

So if they aren't low enough take them to them and specify what you want :)
