some guy has these for sale on craigslist. im just looking for some springs to give me a lowered look. i jsut wanna know if anyone knows nething about these? ive also looked at swift. but i wanna buy used. thanks guys

 

wtf? what company you didn't say anything.

 

kgmm is the company. i guess not alot of ppl know them. i didnt either.

 

i can understand how you got confused..kgmm IS the company name. btw..what is the stock spring rate on the s?

 

wtf never heard of kgmm. spring rates are usually labeled as kg/mm.....


anywhoo i wouldn't go buy any of those ebay/backyard springs. if you want lowering eibach's i've heard are good.

 

I've heard of KG/MM springs.

From what I remembered, alot of guys were running the koni yellow combo w/ KG/MM springs and loved it. If you do a search on s2ki, there will be a large amount of topics about it

KG/MM is definitely not ebay backyard stuff. They're a really reputable company. They're very JDM, so thats why you havent heard of them. They're not lowering springs. They're race springs. Meant to be placed on a threaded coilover perch. Good company....but what are the spring rates? Even good springs with the wrong rates will handle like garbage.

 

i used to have kgmm springs on koni yellows, was a good drop. i have pics but need to find them.

KG/MM is very well known. They make good stuff. Their best work is the custom stuff they do for race teams

 

I had them for years. I liked them, but wanted some ability to change things some so I went to adjustable coilovers and shocks. I thought they were a good spring and never had a problem with them.

 

can they be used with stock shocks?

 

I did for about 15,000 miles. It's better if you were to get better shocks, but it can be done.

 

great. thats wat i was looking for

 

i have them now, kg/mm race springs with koni yellows. I simply love the set up. They are pretty stiff springs but ride very well. They should be gold colored by the way.

 

funny. i just bought some used springs and thought they were tein h techs. apparently they are not. they have a peculiar design where they coil bind two coils in the middle to create a composite spring rate. when i saw a picture of their springs, i knew it wasnt teins that i have.



upon further research, the gold springs are their "DR Racing" line. 35mm drop. front 8.9/3.5k, rear 9.8/4.0k. the black springs are the street spec "DR21 SUPER SPORT", 15mm. as advertised at least.

they might make race springs like swift (probably made by swift if they are) or eibach race springs, but these are simply lowering springs.

kg/mm is just a suspension company. As was stated already--they do make "race" spring rates, but they also make your standard drop springs and they make coil-overs. They have been around for a long time and are very popular in Japan.
