KYB / Kings Commodore Lowering Packages!

[gslrallysport]

Hi Greg,

I currently have superlow springs and stock shocks all round. I am interested in replacing the shocks to KYB performance shocks. Could you please advise your best price for KYB shocks for front and rear?

Also how much to post to Canberra, post code 2614?

Thanks,

Jo.

Hi Jo,

KYB to suit are $135 each for the front, and $105 each for the rear. Delivery to Canberra would be $15.

Thanks Greg, could you please advise the price for Boge shocks front and rear as well? Also, I am wanting a smoother and comfortable ride, not really into performance and would appreciate your opinion if the KYB or Boge shocks would be most suuitable?

[gslrallysport]

If comfort is your main concern then probably go Boge over KYB. Boge to suit are $125 each for the front, and $75 each for the rear.

Hi,

Can you please PM price on Lowering 2006 Thunder Ute, height comparative to SSL, freight to 3207, Vic.

Cheers

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

To lower the ute properly you need to use a specialized rear shock caused Oztec, which are a decent step up from the KYB in terms of price. Because of this, the full package price to suit ute is $795 with KYB front, Oztec rear, and King springs front and rear.

Delivery to 3207 $22.

Any other questions just let me know!

Greg

Hey Greg, got a mate thats looking at getting springs an shocks for his ve ute, he wants it lowest as possible,

Cheers

[gslrallysport]

As low as possible you really need to spend decent money on good shocks like Bilstein. It's doable on KYB, but at the sacrifice of ride quality. KYB and springs all round would be $750, or Bilstein and springs all round would be $1588.

would i need super low or ultra low to get my front tops of the tires level with the guards with my 18's? thanks

[gslrallysport]

To work that out, measure your current hub (dead centre of wheel) to guard measurement, then measure the distance between where you want the guard to sit, and where it sits now, and take that off the original measurement. That the desired hub to guard measurement, and from that we can work out exactly which spring to go. The predefined levels 'low, super lows etc' don't mean anything in terms of finding a specific height.

hey buddy how much would it be for VR wagon springs and shocks + adjustable panhard rod to 5051?

[gslrallysport]

Hi mate,

$660, plus $179, plus $22, so all up $861 delivered.

Easiest way to order is credit card over the phone, 1300 884 836, or else swing me your details, full name, delivery address (preferably a work or business address!!), contact number and email and I can fire you through an invoice with direct deposit details.

Too easy mate, know exactly which springs to go.

At that height and adjustable panhard rod would definitely be recommend, but not critical. The Kings and KYB kit to suit is $660, plus a panhard rod at $179. Shipping to VIC $15.

No dramas mate, speak soon.

No dramas mate, speak soon.

Hey m8
Firstly i would like to ask if by any chance you ship internationally (US).
Secondly I am running stock FE2 shocks on my 08 Lumina SS, and lowered with Kings Fronts: KHFL-150SSL, and Rears: KHRL-152SL.
I am seeking comfort and good street performance for everyday use. I find the stock FE2 shocks kinda harsh when lowered.
Would love to see whats your recommendation for my needs. It seems that your the suspension guru around here

Thanks

Hi mate,

Sorry! Don't know how I missed your post! I was away 20-29th, and got the other guys to look after the forum, but I checked everything when I got back and still missed it!

At that height, if you're trying to return to half decent ride and comfort you'd need to go to something like the Bilstein which is a monotube shock. Front Bilstein B8 including collar $355 each, Rear Bilstein B8 $309 each, Express air freight on full vehicle set $175.

The fronts have to be installed into your original strut legs, so depending on whether you can do that yourself, you might have to allow for some installation cost.

The cheaper option would be KYB, but there's 2 problems with them... They won't be significantly better than what you've got, and being gas charged, they'd have to be sea freighted... which would take months.

Any other questions just let me me know!

Greg

Hi Greg,
Can you please confirm what model of KYB shocks these are and the colour.
My current hub to guard measurements are: F 400mm R 390mm (stock VE SS-V, 20" rims) and the lowest part of the exhaust is 105mm from the ground. What do you recommend for the king springs? to suit the KYB shocks
I dont want to scrape on everything, I would like a slightly lower stance with better performance than standard.
This is what the standard setup looks like:
