King Springs

[debevemos]

Anyone know anything about this company and their springs? I've read some bits from outback and forester forums but wanted to see if anyone here has experience with them? I contacted a supplier and got this...

"I have a set in stock for the 08+
Was gonna try them on my own car.
Still new in box.

$530 for the set, shipped in USA

Will raise approx 1" and stiffen. Awaiting report back from 2 other customers that got them this fall for their 08 and 09. The outback guys love them."

I had no idea these were available for our cars, anyone here tried them already?

yeah i've seen them before and wondered too...

Hey Guys I just got the King springs. I haven't put them on yet. I was going to this week But I may order some of the Subtle 08-10 1" lift kits as well. If I'm tearing down that part of my car I would wait till the lift kit comes in. I will do a full thread w/ pics when I am done including performance (which is highly biased of course). Initailly I thought the springs were a little pricey but in leu of a good coil over that is under 7K I thought it would be a good alternative. Stay Tuned!
PS Got my King Springs through Paul at Primitive racing.

pics? if it's the same as the king shock company then they're very legit springs.

Curious as well, though obviously for the GD chassis. Does anyone have any idea where to find any of these at all?

You have a ton of room! What kind of tire are you going to run? And Arron just went out to the Pit yesterday. These springs really inspire confident driving. I was doing 80 on the road till a 55+mph wind gust almost threw me to the ditch!
