Looks like old springs going back in

And...couldn't get the Invos in the end so went with the ku39's but went through two sets in 30 minutes. How? Well, because it was a bit of a drive to the shop I pulled over shortly after leaving just to check all was as it should be. Um, we fitted ku31's, lol. So back we went and strip and fit repeat.

Tyres are whisper quiet compared to the hideous 595 Evo's and was a wet road tonight. Felt very good. Only criticisms. Put the tape across them are they're actually closer to 265mm. The Evos were actually generous at near 280mm. The rim protector also is near non-existent. Other than that, very happy. Can't believe how much the noise is reduced.

Sounds good....might try rears on mine next time; if im strapped for cash. Was like $240ish in 275/35/18

The hub to guard height on kings SSL all round has had me intrigued.

So threw the fat max on it.

Rears 345mm on the dot (no tow bar).

Fronts 340mm on the dot.

Been on the car 3-4 years.

Old springs back in - ripped up $70.

Will let people make their own mind up but this is how it played out.

Admitted last week they'd sagged lower than bottom spec - roughly 5mm according to them. Charged me $70 labour and fitted new SL rears FOC to supposedly compensate for tow bar. Car ended up 360mm drivers and 355mm passenger with tow bar - too high. Said car left at 350mm so I sent pic to confirm 360mm. Offered to fit original SSL's back in and we discussed aftermarket spring bases which I'd agreed to pay for. Offered to organise them - said they'd sort it. Got email following day to say decision made to refit original springs FOC but not doing bases? Called in to sort and asked why given springs had sagged can't we just supply new SSL's in the 'upper end' spec and be done with it. Said yes, but as other springs were 'within spec' I'd have to pay for them again. Um, say what? Said why supply new SL's FOC then but now have to pay for SSL? Said should have charged me for them also but tried to help. Said ok, just give me old springs back and I'm out of here. Said no, they'd be down a set of springs.

Biggest tell though, admitted they don't do replacements until outside of range which is....+10mm, lol.

Did the whole President of car club thing and dropped my Cousins name but still didn't mean poo. Needless to say, I won't be running King springs ever again.

That's a shame they couldn't follow through.
