cheers charliebrown!

I've read at least two comments on the negative side for Kings and I've heard nothing bad about the Eibachs. The Kings may be fine, but I'll err on caution in this case. For $300 delivered, I can't really complain. Thanks in any event, have a good one.

Kings have the same rates as Eibach/Mazdaspeed.
Height drop is the same.
Cost is far less.
Almost 60,000 klms later, nothing wrong with the quality of mine. :D
As for performance with the standard shocks, with this much lowering you will hit the rear bump stops with a loaded boot no matter which spring you choose.

Just wondering - would the insurance coy notice that you've lowered the car if you made a claim? Just wondering if it is worth telling them IF they jack up your premium.

Tell them.
Generally there will be no change except Allianz who don't insure modified cars the last time I enquired.
