They must see this as a growing market to do it. The pricing is competitive, they always seem more expensive than most.

Seems as they are the Kings SP range.

Nothing like a company that stands behind its products: not suitable for road, no guarantee off road.

Does the fact that they may make the vehicles unroadworthy exclude the vehicles from entry into comps where roadworthiness is mandatory? Such as the ARB/Warn Winch challenge?

At least you have the spring rates so you can go and get them made elsewhere if you want....

Is it $160 each or for a pair. If it is each then it's too dear. I got my Dobbinsons for $150 a pair.

IMO 250lbs is too soft for the front of a Patrol. I had 250lb 3" King Springs and ditched them for 275lb Dobbinson Springs and it rides much better.

Hey GUjohnno,
What is the size of your lift? Also what are the specs of your patrol? Just want to know so I can get an idea of springs in the front of my GQ with a V8 in the front of it. Cheers

[GRIMACE]

in my humb;er opinion them toyo spring rates are to hard for an 80 series... specially comp spec

and havin a higher rate in the front than the rear will be useless on a 80 series that has the original radius arm setup as it will cause very un evn rate of flex.

Well, Been spending last night and today working on a Nissan ute who has had these coils for two weeks.

Has only driven around the streets but so far the rate is much better than he used to have.

He seems veeeeeerrrrry happy with the new setup.

Could be good on a ute without a heavy load.
Just found that the Konis couldn't control the bounce in the front with the 250lbs springs. I wound up the shocks and was a better, but then the rubbers were going. Seems better with the slightly heavier spring.
