  1. King's springs dont sag, out of the last 10 set's I've personally installed over the last two years none have sagged yet, which is unfortunate as a couple of the car's would look good a little lower. I usually use KYB gas struts with Low king springs as they are best suited and the car's all handle very well. The KYB shocks last a lot longer than the monro GT Gas aswell. Standard shocks are fine with up to a 30mm drop, when you go more than 30mm your shocks are working too far out of their range and will wear faster. If you like I can get a friend of mine work works for Kings to jump on here and answer some questions for the uninformed... Pedders will always tell you your shocks are stuffed, because that is how they sell you new struts. Always ask to keep your old struts if they con you into buying new stuff as the front toyota struts are usually rebuildable with inserts. Then you have your old struts to fit some Koni yellow inserts into in the future if you want a good shock to go with your springs. If you know the right people, you can get the King springs for under $110 a pair which is dirt cheap and you can see what a rippoff most retailers are, some charging in excess of $180-200 a pair. The progressive rate king springs were better in my supercharged ae92 sedan than the japanese Apexi progressive rate springs. I've got cusco coilovers in my other ae92 blacktop 20V hatch which **** all over any of the standard coilspring setups you can get I'll be finding out just how good the Tein springs for the new rolla's are this coming weekend when I install the set for my brother who purchased the Teins from orrock on Ebay. I dont expect the world from it because the new rolla's have a crap suspension design anyway, but we'll see what an improvment it makes. The change is being done for looks as the new rolla's are never going to be a track weapon. I'll post some pics of the swap after it's done and a guide on how to DIY.
