Has any one ever tried putting Kingswood front springs in a torana front end?
Do they fit????

My LX had HZ front springs in it when I bought it so they do fit but the front was sitting pretty high - higher than standard - they would be too hard for the Torana front too as they are designed for a heavier vehicle - Unless that is what you are trying to achieve.

The best springs I ever had in a LX were HQ low with 2 coils cut off.
Opps, did I say that out loud ??

I checked this with Kings...the poundage is different..actually lighter and they are about 2 inches/50mm higher.
