King lowering springs

[petertpineda]

Hi guys has anyone installed king lowerings springs on thier 200? Did the ride get stiffer? I plan to install them on my 2013 with kdss suspension. Thanks

I didn't know they made lowering springs? Is it for stock suspension? I don't think coilovers can go lower than stock.

Yes they have. I just found a set today and ordered them. I just hope the ride wont change.

They are lowering springs only and not coilovers.

Chances are it will be a little stiffer... most, if not all lowering springs, have at least some increase to the spring rate.

Ok thanks. Will be installing them in a few weeks. Hopefully the ride wont change that much.

no offense meant to the OP but am I the only one who feels some anxiety reading this thread? Lowering a 200? Is that legal???

Yeah, to each his own, but seems to me the equivalent of buying a $60k sports car and lifting it.

Share some photos after you've lowered it. With the right wheel/tire combo, I think it'd look awesome!

OP already has 22" wheels, so the lowering might just complete "the look" really well.

I'll have to look at his other threads. Thanks for the info.

Looks like the OP has 20" BBS's on the way (a bad ass looking wheel). It should look great for what he has planned.

I use my cruiser mostly on highways and want it to handle well. I hardly go off road. Heres my set up now.

I use my cruiser mostly on highways and want it to handle well. I hardly go off road. Heres my set up now on 22 inch forged DPE wheels and ap racing radi-cal BBK’s. The 20 inch BBS wheels i had before didnt clear the brake kit. I might try installing the rear springs first and see how they look and ride.

How did it turn out? Any updated pics or review of the setup?

Heres the ride height now with only the rear springs installed. Just installed the rear springs so i only have an inch difference in ride height to the front.

Where's the tuck?

Here's my LX slammed on 33's.

Slammed on AHC that is. I don't think one can actually ride this low as it's pretty close to being on the bumpstops. The front is at least. Rear probably has another 2-3" of travel.

Wow thats low! Too low for me already. But looks really great! Are you on 22’s?
