03/03/06 02:49 AM03/03/06 02:49 AM #2 Mate give Wilkenson Suspension Centre a call! I got my Kings SL and SSL suplied and fitted with a wheel alignment for $400. My shocks are still fine and the springs have been in for 30000kms and shocks have done a total of 70000kms!They need the car for about 2 hours, so next time you are in Perth it might be worth considering.

03/03/06 03:57 AM03/03/06 03:57 AM #5 Author Yeah, just got back from shop. Told the guy way too much, $400 and your'e on. He sez impossible to do for that, so I sez shove em up ye coit.
03/03/06 04:04 AM03/03/06 04:04 AM #6 nice work I wonder if lowering would affect performance... like down the strip?

He sez impossible to do for that, so I sez shove em up ye coit.You should be able to buy 4 Kings coils for under $300. have a look on Ebay they might even be as low as $220 for the set.One of the larger suspension places in Melbourne fits for just $80 as they do it in less than 1 hour.

(which is what the quote is for)Anyhow:SL and SSL set will cost you $220 from just about any decent suspension shop.Should cost no more than $140 to install them. (takes them less than 1.5 hours to do it)
