I want to get rid of my King Springs. I would like to swap them for Stock Springs so if anyone with a good pair of stock spring (prefer NAs as they don't seem to sag like NB's do) all you have to do is get them swaped and they are all yours. I live on the lower North Shore and don't want to travel far if I can avoid it.

Casn I ask why you are getting rid of them?
I also have the King Springs and am changing them.

There ride quality is garbage. I don't mind a firmer spring but these are not progressive which makes them useless for street use in my opinion. They have just made a harder spring not a better one.

thats strange my kings are progressive?

Maybe there quality isn't that consistant. Mine are just hard thats all

You can order both types from memory. Mine on the NA were the STD ones and yes they are a tad stiff.

If they are low they should be progressive, std height comes in linear. From my experience King springs have a very hgh and cosistant quality. I have a set of king lows all round and have been extremely happy with them. They reduce body roll and response without a noticeably harsh or harder ride.

Mine were lowered (darn speedhumps!) and definately weren't progressive, but their range may have changed now as this was a few years back.

That is entirely possible, they do change and update thier range occasionally. I would seriously recomend the current progressive rate springs. I have had mine in for a few months now and am more than happy with them.
