King Springs

[oldpom]

Hi, can someone tell me what king springs i can use on 1991 vn front and rear, to bring back to standard? Are other models compatible and if so, which models. Thanks.

I assume it's a 6cyl sedan?

Standard:
KHFS-22: Front
KHRS-20: Rear

FE2:
KHFL-22: Front
KHRL-20: Rear

FE2 Stiffer:
KHPR-22: Front
KHRL-20HD: Rear

[Morton]

VB, VC, VH, VK, VL, VN, VP 6cyl all use the same part numbers for front springs
VL, VN, VP with live rear axle 6cyl and 8cyl all use the same part numbers for rear springs.

Standard rear springs for Wagons and Utes with live axle use springs with the same shape, but different load ratings.

Whilst we're on this subject of springs; I'd like to raise a question.

I've taken a look at the King Springs catalogue, they do manufacture the "low" springs for the VP Berlina V6..

My question is, do these springs have the same stiffness as the stock "Radial Tuned Suspension"?

I'd hate to go out and buy these springs; only to find that they are stiff as an 80 year old on viagra.

There are two levels of spring that Kings make off-the-shelf for your car. Their "Low" springs are equivalent to FE2 (sports pack) and come in either standard stiffness, or "Sports" stiffness.

Refer to my post above:

FE2:
KHFL-22: Front
KHRL-20: Rear

FE2 Stiffer:
KHPR-22: Front
KHRL-20HD: Rear

Why not just go to holden and get brand new genuine springs.You can get either the sports type FE2 springs that were fitted by holden to some sporty models, or were also fitted as an option,or you can get the standard height/standard ride springs.I just got 2 brand new genuine FE2 springs for the front of my VS through my local holden dealer, and they were $50 each.Id also phone a few different holden dealers to get the cheapest price, as they can have completely different prices for some spares..

Or just hit up your local wreckers, and pull a set out of any standard looking S-Pack, Calais or SS Commodore (or the odd executive with a BT1 VIN plate)

I did that $60 for 4
