Re: King Springs, 240k struts in a 1600

I have a different setup with the 200b strut but found that the low king springs were not captive and far to low so i moved the lower seat and welded it back on so it was captive and the right ride height. Chris Simpson wrote: Charlotte,I've got the same combo as yours except ive got a set of Laser KF springs in there and they are non captive and super, super low in the 240K spring (my cross member is about 5cm off the ground!! too low!!! Are your super low's captive? do you think that the lows would remain captive? Thanks Chris S ----- Original Message ----- From: Charlotte To: Ozdat Discussion List Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 3:03 PM Subject: Re: King Springs, 240k struts in a 1600  Chris, I have 240k struts and brakes in my 1600 and i ordered 1600 'super low' progressive rate King springs for the front and 'low' for the back. I wanted super low for the back too but was told they dont make them. After we put them in, the front sat pretty good, but quite low (as you would expect I guess!), but the back sat higher. To even it out we cut 1/4 coil off the back springs and now it sits even but its very low. I have a pretty big dump pipe and it sits about 7cm off the ground and thats not good. I would reccommend not getting the super lows for the front - just get plain low front and rear and it should sit well. I have a pic somewhere so if you are interested I will find it and email it to you, just let me know. Hope this helps, Charlotte.    From: Chris Howard Subject: King Springs, 240k struts in a 1600 Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2002 17:40:10 -0700 Anyone using this combo? Did you get 1600 or 240k springs from them? Low or super low? and how low does it sit?
