Is a HQ leaf rear or coil rear?

I've heard from the guys at Beenleigh Wreckers that you can use Torana coil springs on a Kingswood to lower it. Never tried though.

hq to wb sedans are all coil springs


why use torana springs?? king springs are cheap enough and there not 30 years old

I agree with you EH, I've heard they do lower a car.. but i too would prefer brand new springs.

Difference being that bags REPLACE the coil spring and are secured...ie wont fall out if suspension is extended

Personally Im a fan of layin sill....dont have anything I can do it in though...however I am NOT a fan of ppl modding thier cars in a way that makes them dangerous...We can harp on for hours on this subject but I wont...when I was younger,I had "fully sick" cut coils in my Kingswood,you know...50mm clearance all round....I thought I was the shit too till I turned into a driveway and a coil FELL OUT and I fucked some near new paint....good thing it wasnt a bump on the highway huh...

Lesson learned

i have heard of this being done but buy new kings if u were going to do it
