I just went back to their site, and realised I miss read it. That is for each spring... so total of $380 :( Sorry to get your hopes up.

Not sure exactly what they will charge for fitting, but they charged me about 350 to fit coilovers.

Thats a shame, but still cheaper than springs for my older coupe.

Still something to save up for!

if your changing struts you will need to factor in the cost of a 4 wheel alignment afterwards. (most shops by default only do the front only)

probably looking for around 60-80 bucks.

which is what i paid after getting control arm bushings replaced.

I have a set of King springs in my shed I'm not using I'd sell cheap. Pm me if interested. They are still on the old shocks but that can be easily fixed =) (old shocks are gone bang)

Can also price you up some NEW shocks if you want to come see me at work. Pretty sure you know where I am.

Avoid Kings - if you're looking for springs get either H&R, Eibach Pros or Sport


kings are good, i had them on my car for 40000k`s before i bought coils, no problems whatsoever and u can use your stock struts.

I've heard a number of people say to avoid King Springs. But so far everyone that I know that's used King Springs have had no issues with them.

Spring rates are my issue with Kings, they are too soft in my opinion

Personally if you're going to spend that much coin on springs might as well spend a little extra and get Eibach or H&Rs as they are a better spring imo

Im on the stock Bils + H&R but will move to coils eventually ... just a never ending money pit :)
