make sure the springs are the right way up, when i fitted mine, i couldnt tell which way was up. they looked the same, i ended up putting one up sidedown on the front. had to take it off and flip it

How can you tell?
on the front springs; the coil goes flat at the end... is the top or bottom? and for the back end, one end has tighter coils... is that top or bottom? JM

If you're putting them in yourself, trust me, you'll be able to tell which ones go where :P

Nice. Man you should've went super lows because you'll be impressed with how well it handles even though everyone -claims- that lows are for performance (probably overall street performance) and super lows just for looks. Got mine done last week (super lows front and lows rear - both kings) and lows still look too high and don't feel stiff enough for my liking. Just my opinion.

your probably right, hopefully after a fair bit of sagging they'l site nicely. but i really wanted it as drivable as possible. and shawn from philcom doesnt recommend superlows anymore. so had to go with the advice i had at the time and plus i ordered them late friday and recieved half the package today, so service been awesome. much better option then waiting 2/3 weeks for king ST's.

I thought King Springs themselves said that the Superlows had a softer spring rate than the Lows?

Pretty good early Christmas present. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face for weeks when I whacked Lows/KYBs on my car :)

Correct. The stiffest spring that Kings make is the Low SPs. Next the Lows.
