King springs...help identify them?

Hi guys,

I have a set of rear King springs that I'm considering purchasing fronts for, in order to be put to KYB AGX adjustables once my bank balance allows it

However I'm not sure what exactly I have so was looking forward to some help in identifying them.

The box just says Performance Replacement King Springs. The code on the spring says KMRL-53. From the online catalogue on the website it says that they are L (I'm assuming Lows) :?:

- Anyone have these installed?
- How much height drop do they give?
- Are they suitable for KYB AGX adjustables?

- Most importantly....should I use them? Or should I go for some of the Pro Sport Competition Coil Springs instead, which are progressive?

Cheers guys. Wouldn't be making the right choices without the forum and your input

hey mate...yeah...the normal LOWS work fine with the KYB's....the super lows do not work fine(so ive been told by LOU at straight talk suspension)...

this is the setup i have on my car and they are absolutely great.

they gave about a 2inch drop on my nb8b, which really is the perfect drop for compromise of looks and everyday driveability.

heres a quick pic to show you how low it is....

Thanks heaps, your car looks good too!

Are the Lows considered \"progressive\" at all?

I asked for the normal \"lows\" and got progressive springs... It is VERY low though (not a lot of shock travel).

What was the name on the box? Would you also still remember the product code on the springs?

Thanks Boagsy

Hey deez, thats the combo I am running, kyb agx with king lows. The part numbers are KMFL-52 for the front and KMRL-53 for the rear, and yes they are progressive, as well as being about 30% heavyier than std. I think they are great.

PS I got all ney geniune boots when I installed the shocks, I reckon they are the way to go.

Awesome, thanks for that info zoomzoom.

Does the AYB's not come with shock boots? Why the genuine boots may I ask? :mrgreen:

no the kyb dont come with boots. I looked for every other option for boots and found the genuine ones were the only ones that will fit properly, I guess that figures since they are purpose made.

I just got them at my mazda dealer, I paid about $35 each but I reckon if you looked around for a bit you will probably find somwhere on the net or somwhere else to buy them cheaper?
