For those of you who don't know, KG/MM is a major Japanese spring manufacturer, and one of the few who still manufacture their springs in Japan. KG/MM springs are famous for their quality and excellent ride characteristics. A major reason for that is that their springs are dual rate.

Anyways, just want to show that there are still other spring options other than SPOON.

Also, KG/MM springs are available for pretty much ALL Japanese cars, so if you have any friends with Toyota's, Mazda's, etc. you can let them know that they aren't limited to just TRD and H&R.

 

how much does it lower the car by and what's the cost?

 

front drop: 40mm
rear drop: 30mm

for pricing, check with R&D, IPS

CORRECTION:
front drop: 30mm
rear drop: 25mm

Sorry wrong info.

DR SuperSports
Fronts lower 30mm and rear lower 25mm.

DR Racing
Front lower 35mm and rear lower 30mm

These are design for max. lowering without scraficing too much of the camber (tire wear).

 

sorry, i read the wrong line in the book

AJ PwR is right

 

what is the conversion of the spring rates to lbs/in?

 

just multiply the spring rates by 55.9 to convert to lb/in

 

where can they be ordered from ?

 

thanks, yoshi

 

A&J racing carries them

 

For the ride height conversion just multipy the mm by .03937 to get the height in inches.

Someone throw out a prices for theses springs......

I don't have an itr but I have these springs on my gsr. I love them, and they are the best springs i've ever owned. (Yes I have had neuspeed and eibachs so far). They lower it perfectly, and the ride is great. I have them with some agx's set on 3 and I am very happy.

Anyone have any othe sites for these? One of these doesn't list the products/prices, one doesn't seem to carry KG/MM, and the last doesn't seem to have the DC2R version!?...

 

hmmmm 2.8k rear... doesn't that seem kind of low (lower than stock)??? what is stock again???


kg/mm also offers a damper kit sorta like the mugen low down's. looks like a nice kit.

Stock rear is 140-246 I believe. That translates to 2.5k - 4.4k

ok then, that's not too bad. little stiffer than stock so that sounds like those would work real nice with the stock shocks. not too low or stiff. i'd like to lower a little to get some neg camber, lower center of gravity, and a tad stiffer wid out killing my shocks.

one more thing... are the rates posted 6.6/3.8 front 4.8/2.8 rear the progressive rates??? so it goes from 212.4-368.9 lbs front and 156.5-268.3 lbs rear.

We carry them, Give us a call for price

 

Yes

 

kg/mm is the ****. i use them on my ae86. top quality!

 

 

for those that have kg/mm in their ITR, have you ever noticed that the rear springs are awfully short? someone told me that they can actually be out of place between the perches when you go over a big bump

 

i have kg/mm on my R..ALOT better than the oem in my opinion...i will have the update of pics soon on my car...i believe the drop is 1.7 both front and rear..NO the tires do not rub!.......

and it helps b/c i just purchase 4 TOYO t1 tires.....all i can say is...DAMN!!!!

only one factor..now the front does need a camber kit..and yes u have to readjust the springs to get them back to the notch..
