Need to get new springs before weekend. OME will take too long. I can get King or Austech. Has anyone used them and what is better

[ODA1]

Coil or leaf?

[burls]

Sorry leaf

[Choppy]

i have kings in my sierra and dislike them immensly... some people like them, i recommend removing leaves before putting them in if there new. ive just put OME in the rear and am very impressed ride comfort and flexibilty is much better.

I have kings... most people's thoughts are they are shit... bottom line is they dont ride the greatest but on the right setup they will flex like a stringy poo.

Steky loves them, chat to him about them.

Yeah I was wanting to get OME but they take to long and I've gotta fix this leaning problem out.

have you had a look in the tech section aboiut fixing the lean, its extremely common and there have been quite a few threads on how to fix it

How do you know I like string poo's???

Every spring has it's bonus & down fall, I have seen EFS flex awesome, but snap, OME flex awesome but bend.
King flex well but the ride is a lil stiff, but the only time I have seen a bent one was from impact in comp..

Funny, I've seen 3 kings snap, 2 of them rears, one a front (pretty sure it was a king anyway). One of the rear ones had already bent though (due to axle wrap), and then snapped. That said I snapped a stock Suzuki spring. I'd still rather have Kings than OME's!

Carrolls Springs at Wacol will also have EFS on shelf, if you wanted them (they are more expensive than some other brands though). I'm currently liking the EFS rears I have in my Sierra (minus 1 leaf), by far the best spring I have run in it. Only reason I haven't bought a set for my LJ, is they will lift it too high (Don't want to lift it).

Thanks

Have ordered kings today so will let you know how they go

i used to have kings and i loved them. i had them on 2 different sierras. one was stiff the other was nice and flexy. I think the second had a leaf out, it makes a huge difference.

Update

Well the springs or in and will post pics later there is a RH and LH with big difference lying on the floor.

Fitted to car and not arms up yet. Better bu the right still sits 20mil low Hmmmmmmmm

Took it for a spin and rides not much different to the OME

Will swap the rears over tomorrow and see
