    Anyone have any idea of the freeheight and spring rate of "low" king springs (KTFL33 i think) for ae86? Looking to get some 210mm/7kg springs and just want to work out how much stiffer and lower it'll sit! Thanks :2thumbs:

    kings are about 2" drop usually, not really low enough for most people in this seen.

    expect the rate to be around 3kg/mm

    Thanks for that - so a set of AJPS 210mm 7kg are gonna be quite a bit stiffer i would imagine :yes: from what i've seen, the height of 210mm's is still just above the tre, so streetable, but nothing stupid.

    thanks guys - gonna grab the 210mm springs and see how they are! only decision now is whether they'll keep the standard length shock captive enough or whether i swap over for short strokes!

    Will chuck up a comparison of the two though when i get them
