u rekin it would be cheaper than getting new shocks?

chicaboo · 18-05-2007, 08:03 AM

Nope, you can get adjustable Tokico Illuminas for less than adjustable Koni inserts.

FEM · 18-05-2007, 08:12 AM

so you rekin get some new struts and keep the kings? something like tokico or koni?

dan

chicaboo · 18-05-2007, 08:18 AM

Well, if the Kings are as hard as some of the other guys reckon, then yes. Then you will potentially have exactly what you want from your suspension.

Mental note: So fuggin glad I always get Tokicos...

FEM · 18-05-2007, 08:23 AM

Kindly take your sideskirts off before coming over or I won't be helping you, as the 4WD trolley jack is not as forgiving as I!

No pay, he just wants me to do it (BUM must charge too much?

). It's ok as I will have the rattle gun out doing stuff on the Laser tomorrow anyhow. But I do my car first.

zappy65 · 18-05-2007, 06:56 PM

it sounds like you want a low rebound spring.....

FEM · 18-05-2007, 08:55 PM

yeppp

zappy65 · 19-05-2007, 07:14 PM

im just wondering can u put kings with standard BG struts? as for the low rebound spring knigs are pretty good otherwise gav also likes dobinsons aka whiteline i think?

chicaboo · 19-05-2007, 07:41 PM

Dobinsons were a tradeoff i was willing to take a punt on when I couldn't get Eibachs for the Laser. I'm quite happy with the feel of them with the Tokico HP Bronze so far...

zappy65 · 19-05-2007, 10:36 PM

chicaboo · 20-05-2007, 12:23 AM

Here you go John: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ford-Laser-KF...QQcmdZViewItem
