Hi and welcome to the club. Hears the answers to your questions
1.Yes it will fit fine
2. About $320 for the whole fit from the Mitsubishi clearance warehouse in south Australia
3. Cutting springs is not a good idea. I've got lows in my 2000 TJ sports and it sits nice, check out my thread. I've got a ground effects kit + a Jvm front bar
Welcome to the club.
3. Cutting that much off springs will weaken them. It reduces the amount of weight it can carry. In my KS, I had opted to cut the rears a tad (1" of the length of the spring) which was safe according to the fitter.

Never ever EVER cut springs, if you want lower then what king make off the shelf, get them to do a custom set up for you, when you cut springs it upsets the cars suspension geometry and also the spring rebound rate, it gives more wear on the shocks and other suspension parts. Also it can weaken the spring as well.

i have king spring lows all round and find it hard getting up some driveways now i have pacemakers. you should plan ahead a little, if youre going to get headers you really dont want you car any lower than what the lows will give you.

IMO to mate lows all round look better
no wedge, all looks even

HI - welcome to the AMC bunch (I'm fairly new here as well).
The Mitsi Clearance Centre in Adelaide doesn't send stuff himself, but he will pack it well (including pack as much as he can into one box etc), and is happy for Freight Companies/Courierd to pick up from him - BUT you must arrange freight from your end.
Caine (the guy at Clearance Centre) suggested I ring Northline, as he understands they are one company which accepts freight orders without actually having an account with them. I am after smallish/interior stuff - about $400- worth, and freight might be $200- at a guess. I'm going to call other Freight companies, esp when Caine is able (ooh, almost a joke) when he can tell me size and weight of my stuff.
Search Forum threads for contact Details for Mitsubishi Clearance Centre - there are at least 2 threads. The stock list in Forums in way out of date, but guy is very helpful. He's open 9-12 on saturdays - but probably won't be able to chat long as he'll have a warehouse full of folks waving cash in his face trying to buy stuff. What's available is new old stock from Dealers and Factory, as far as I can tell. Not just Magnas/Veradas. Recent posts suggest there have been Ralliart rear wings, I've ordered some interior leather small stuff, rear sunshades, audio HU and 6-disc in-dash stacker (I like to keep "factory" look), dash 3" speakers of higher quality, towbars bits and pieces..... There have been body-kits shipped all-over, but I have no idea of transport costs.
It seems that freight quotes go by cubic volume and possibly also weight - so get an idea from Caine of the size and weight of what he has that you want. He's had lots of new stock in over last wk or two, so my order is coming together early next wk I hope - if you have luck and he has what you want - I'm in Tamworth with family near Coonabarabran -dunno if freight could combine or something.....
