Could be a good combination ,but why would you want to mix n match springs like that

Ive heard that the Dobson springs are a bit heavier in the coil than the Kings ,so ,for that reason i would get them ,as i feel the FWD magna needs a heavier spring to help with all the weight.

Weird thing is ,that the photo looks like two sets of rear springs..

PM Mal and get a price on both sets for your car.

At the meet tonight you will be able to see examples of different spring combos.

I have Dobinsons all round on my AWD, the heavier spring does help with the bottoming out issue that the Kings lack.

As above, with the price they have quoted with shiping included they will be losing money on this so they are actualyl damn cheap lol

Personalyl I would not be to worried about mixing and matching however if I was to do this I would want the Dobinsons in the back end and the kings in the front, I would not go the other way around

Oh and if you are getting what is pictured you are getting 2 sets of rear springs

C43-094 (Dobinson) are super lows....lows in Dobinsons are code C43-076...
so I read this as, the ebay seller is selling super low dobinson fronts and std low kings rear....assuming you ignore the photo...;)

I was in a hurry when I posted my reply and forgot to add, I have had Kings before, and by far the Dobinsons are the best spring, coupled with Boge shocks and you have a winning combo.

That's a very good deal and both are very good quality items. I've got Kings all round, but it's a bit of a hard ride, I'd get Dobinsons next time.
