springs for corolla

Recommended Posts

i did a seach for a topic similar couldn't find any answers.

can anyone confirm are kings different to pedders?

anyway.. i have the current model corolla and i want to get lowering springs.

i've shopped around and got some prices, both kings and lovells are $495.00 fitted

lovells - offer 35mm & 55mm drop w/ F2.85kg R3.46kg spring rate (5yr warranty)

kings - offer only 30mm drop w/ F2.97kg R3.60kg spring rate

both very similar specs, everything else is out of my price range.

any feedback on past experiences would be great.

Really depends on where you go for kings.

I had places quoting from 400-600...

The franchise type places are worth a try, because they tend to stab each other in the back with prices... i.e Midas

ive got 30mm KINGS all the way from wat i remember! for $350 all up at big O tyres in moorebank SYDNEY!

i heard that lovell sags from my frend but the dude that installed it for me said it doesnt for the KINGS so yer !!

thanks for the replies,

i do suppose there isn't much difference at all with kings/lovells/pedders. all similar price, similar spring rates, similar height.. just a matter of colour now.. rule of thumb, yellow is for rices, blue is for wonkers, and red is for racing!

just a matter of the 35mm or 50mm drop.. any suggestions? i just want the 35mm drop, but if 50mm will provide better handling then i'd go the 50mm feeback please!

if u want to improve handling then u might as well save up for adjustable damper coilovers...

not only can u adjust the height, u can also adjust the damper settings depending on road/driving conditions...

that's a given, i know that there's no short cuts in getting good handling without getting coilovers.

i've always been up for coilovers but the car is new and i don't want to ruin the "soft" ride as much.. i must be getting old..

Sorry to go off topic a little but is this currently available for the 10th gen rolla's? or (gonna sound like a noob) would for example the D2 coilovers be a universal fit between the 9th and 10th gen rolla's?

been really sceptical with jap brands as opposed to the cheaper aus/chi/tai brands. been hearing alot of good stuff with D2, HSD, G-force etc etc.

more than half the price for something less serious. it's appealing to most road cars.

sorry to bring up an old thread but does anyone know where to lower their car for a decent install price in perth? thinking under $500 for springs and install..

got quotes for king springs installed and cheapest was $534..

cool cool.. damn perth.. why must everything be more expensive..

isolation does funny things to people

Add the mining boom to that. Got plenty of Yobbos with utes and bucket loads of cash who don't mind what they pay to make their car "fully sick"
