    I'm going to take the contrarian view here, and say be careful in knocking Kings with regards to quality...

    Kings is OEM supplier to DMS and MCA, and a vast majority of race teams in this country. Their springs have won the last 4 Australian Rally Championships, as well as countless V8 Supercar Championships. They've also been used in the WRC by teams that have European spring manufacturers ALOT closer to home (ala Eibach)... Their street stuff generally gets knocked because people don't fit shocks capable of controlling a proper performance spring.

    You'll never find someone winge about their Kings/Bilstein setup, but plenty of people bag out Kings when they fit them to Monroe/Pedders/Ultima's etc... Where Eibach is streaks and streaks ahead is purely and simply R&D into road specific applications using road specific shocks, particularly European gear.

    There's a certain former world rally champion (from this decade Click here to enlarge), who never liked progressive rate springs his whole career, but was persuaded by his Aussie team made who had previously worked with DMS (which use King springs) with his Prodrive Group N Subaru, and now said certain former world rally champion has changed his tune. Mark [King] reckons the coils they rolled to SWRT's specs were the hardest coils they've ever made...

    I'm 100% behind Eibach over Kings in the Opel gear, but be careful how you view them as a spring manufacturer, as there's a reason why they're the largest spring manufacturer in the southern hemisphere, and supplier of springs to European based race teams! Click here to enlarge

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    Until you need to mortgage your kids, your house, your left testicle, your superannuation, to then go put it on all red on the roulette wheel, in the hope that you win and can finally afford to replace the MRC shocks when they fk out... Click here to enlarge

    I priced them for a customer through our genuine Holden account (and was just going to pass it on at cost), and for the full set would've cost more than my first two rally cars...

    ... put together! Click here to enlarge







    * Although that probably says more about my first two rally cars than it does about the shocks! Click here to enlarge
