Get them to make the springs to your spec and have them fitted.

They can custom build to your ride height and spring rate.


mmm.... K-MAC = $?

anyways, took the plunge and ordered the KYBs from the States, fingers crossed. Good thing the aussie dollar's gone back up a bit, should have them landed for A$490

I got a quote from KMAC a couple of months ago and it was very competitive with the price of kings, etc. KMAC also asserts that their springs will not sag like some others, they have a special furnace that makes for better spring steel.

Can't remember what the price was as I am not at home right now and don't have the emails from them.

I do remember that custom, fully adjustable sway bars were $325 each.

Correcting my last with a cutting from the KMAC email.

We use the very highest chromium grade spring steel.

K-Mac is also the only Australian manufacturer to use
\"State of the Art\" electric resistance heating for
maximum torsional effectiveness and prolonged life.

Springs (any height required) are $330 set 4 incl GST

Front Anti Sway Bar (24mm) is $180.
Rear (14mm or 16mm ) is $165.


$330 for all 4 springs is very good. A set of Eibachs are on special at a known supplier for just under $400, and that is also a good price.
