has anyone brought springs from ebay

[craigillz]

hey ppl im just wondering if anyone has brought these springs of ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VL-VP-Commodo...QQcmdZViewItem just want know if anyone has had problems with them or didnt reseive them b4 i get myself some

[CSL]

mate i reckon thats a good deal, pick up the shocks for the rear and your looking at 325, do it yourself in a few hours and your done like a dinner, legal as well

[craigillz]

yeah i think its a bargin but i just dont know if i can trust it aye

[CSL]

of course you can trust it. i have purchased from this seller before and yes, he is very trustworthy, and king springs??? come on if you can find a better known brand for performance just let me know. and you can return them within 14 days if you dont like em, what have you got to loise (i'm gunna gte myself a set of lows in about a months time)

[SweetWagon]

Thats a pretty good deal i think, I got quoted for $50 per spring (king springs) when i was looking at lowering my VN, (still on the list) , so this is pretty good deal when they are delivered to your door!!!

PS> does anyone know if a camber kit is needed on the front for a VN wagon when lowering, and would the springs for the sedans and wagons be the same.

Cheers

I was going to get springs from them also, You can go and view them before you buy or buy them from there shop maybe.

[CSL]

nah no camber kit needed on the live axle borg warners, only when irs comes into the situation is it needed

Springs are different in the rear at least.. no you don't need a camber kit (never do on the front)... sedans with IRS need a camber kit when being lowered, but since the wagons didn't come out with IRS you just need a new adjustable panhard rod to keep the rear axel level.

Every IRS that is 2+" Low should have come standard with Camber kit.
I can't describe the look of a VT 3" lowered from behind, The wheels would fall over they are that bad lent over to chew the inside of the wheels.
They sit like this -> ....../ \.....

indeed, ive brought off this seller before, hes reliable

umm, yeah u dont need a camber kit, BUT u do need a ajustable panhard rod

bewarned the front springs need to be compressed on if ur thinkin about doing the front ur self(better to let a professional do the front)

u DO need a ajustable panhard rod and i hate to say DONT SKIMP ON THIS
buy a kmac one, i have a cheapo one ($100) and it does the job but it comes loose when im driving sideways :P, or just turn too sharply, have to get under and tighten it back up, also could be the fact my exhust is rubbing on my sway bar... (cars too low :P)

ok ok, also something to take into consideration, get lower springs at the rear... the front springs take the weight of the engine drop me a email if u want to see my calais sitting on superlow kingsprings all around, also a good idea to get short shocks... heaps lock the springs in and prevent bottoming out...

good luck
btw got mine fitted with all new shocks (monroe) and kings all round for $650
also get a wheel alignment with it,

expect to pay around $800-$900 to lower your car PROPERLY lol, i mean sure u can lower it for $0(lol cutsprings....or just take them out???) or even round $300, but its a good idea to get new shocks (rear atleast) and a ajustable panhard rod

[Full Spectrum]

I had 2 guys do my front springs, Was $200 for stock height but the job looked hard enough. But i was comfy sitting back in the chair watching them go at it

[PaRaDoX]

yep its not a easy job, especially if u havnt got a hoist :P,

[DaRiO]

ive brought off this seller a few times

the wrx club even did a group buy on whiteline products from him

hes a nice guy, and trustworthy

[Keesh]

would my calais hav IRS? im not sure its an '89?

[Wesleyrpg]

wow.....$225 for 4 springs...and they super lows! im tempted to buy them myself.

just rang king springs....they say that these are legal in vic.....(100mm)

[SweetWagon]

Springs are different in the rear at least.. no you don't need a camber kit (never do on the front)... sedans with IRS need a camber kit when being lowered, but since the wagons didn't come out with IRS you just need a new adjustable panhard rod to keep the rear axel level.

so these springs wont fit the wagons? and where can i buy an adjustable panhard rod for a commie?? Im looking at getting superlows at the front with ultra lows at the back and "short" shocks all round, would this look good?

Cheers

[str8up]

I've just sent my payment to this seller for a set of ultralows. I hope i get them.

Mine were $5 cheaper then yours

[slappa.]

if there are a few ppl wanting to buy some springs off this guy, i'll see if we can get a better deal??

anyone?

[jack.mc]

I would be moderately interested, provided it gets pretty cheap... Correct me if i'm wrong on the following:

Backs are easy to do
Fronts are harder to do (not too hard? I've got access to a spring compressor)
I will need an adjustable panhard rod (non irs)
It'll look dodgy with stocky's and hubcaps, so I'll need new wheels too

Is there a guide on here at all for installing them? Or would i be better off supplying them to someone to put on for me? Thanks... watching this space...

[Full Spectrum]

yep its not a easy job, especially if u havnt got a hoist :P,

It's also a bit of a buzz for the first time when you see what they remove
I'm sitting back thinking they just took the strut off rotor and all and poped it on the ground.

[PaRaDoX]

lol, yep..

if u wanna learn to rip it apart, go to the wreckers and rip the spring outta one of them, then if u **** it up it dosnt matter :P (dont buy the part :P)

im intrested in buying some kingspring ultralows off him, im in for the group buy

[str8up]

maybe a new thread should be started a for potentual buyers

[commy92]

fronts are piss easy to do if a you have a rattle gun and b spring compressors. If you dont have spring compressors dont even try you will most likly put yourself in hospital and the insurance company will prob right your car off.. A rattle gun makes life so much easier cause some of those bolts are that darn tight its not funny. Just remember if in doubt ASK someone cause its a very fidly job but once you have done it once you will be able to do it on almost anything.

[PaRaDoX]

lol @ trying to compress spring without a spring compressor...

[Full Spectrum]

I was lucky i found out my Bering plate was going when they did myn i wouldn't have picked that up wouldn't have had a clue
