Hi All,
I currently have King Spring KHRL-12 in the back of my LH. They are a bit soft for my liking and would like to get something stiffer.
Is there anything available off the shelf?
Cheers
Dave

Probably a special spring then made from slightly thicker wire.

Previously, you could give this sort of request to Kings and they'd do a custom spring for you.
I understand this service is no longer offered.
I think Greg Nolan at Suspension Concepts in North Wyong NSW was trying to source an alternative, once Kings stopped doing it.
Maybe give him a yell.
They ship stuff anywhere.

The RS17 is lowered... and slightly heavier... based on a 50-100kg fuel load
You can still call Kings with your required info and they should be able to advise a spring
Usually they require rear weight and distance from centre of axle to bottom lip of guard

I had a few custom spring sets made by Brown Springworks in Thomastown. N.E. suburb of Melbourne.
