Kings $$$

Postby AB7 » Mon Aug 06, 2007 12:42 pm

Hi Guys,

Kings fitted on NB for $380.00..is that reasonable?
I also searched on the forum, and most ppl said Kings on standard shocks is not a good idea.

I had Koni adjustable before on my FD3S, and the height can also be adjusted. Is that the same case with NB's Koni?

Thanks.

$380 is quite reasonable I think.

As far as NB shocks go.......they will prolly last another 10-15k km after you install the Konis. But that also depends how far they have traveled before you install the The Konis. Mine lasted about 1 month. They had traveled less than 100k Km at the time in an NA

NB Konis are not height adjustable as far a I recall.

Thanks Stan.
I think I'll save up more money and do the shocks as well.

I had kings with stock shocks and they were fine with over 80000klms on them. It was a bit crashy when the shocks bottomed out but most of the time, it was a good thing. In fact, I only upgraded to Teins to get the car a bit higher so it could get over speed bumps.:)

Hei CT, how low does it go?
Did you do this to NB?
