Yeah have tried both of them and ended up with the kings
while being slightly firmer i found the car responded well with them
also the whiteline springs came down about 5mm more than the king to around 35mm, a little too low i think.

plus kings have lifetime warranty (agaist free height sag of more than 10mm)

hope that helps!

Kings aren't very good. I have a set in my 93 all they are is hard they have very bad response this makes dampening them difficult I wouldn't even consider buying a set of them without Koni shocks. In retrospect I would save a little longer and buy a set of coilovers. Do the job properly, you will see a set of Koni/Kings turn up on this site every other month with always the same reason coilover upgrade.

why would you run a h/duty spring with std shocks?

all after market springs are about 25% firmer than std springs

i agree Koni and King is a great package
coilovers are great if you choose the right one

(And thats not the best looking shiny ones)

I like KYB AGX's more than Koni's....about half the price too :lol: If you go a Koni and insert_spring_name_brand_of_choice combo...you might as well go for coilovers as the price difference is minimal.
