What's the "normal" price for the kit? I was looking at doing something "later" but if the savings are there it might push it up the list! -
Any idea what a new set of top hats are and what it would cost to get a suspension place to assamble the strut and spring? I dont have spring compressors and cant be bothered doing that bit.Comment

No need for spring compressors if you do it this way http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...ade-for-Grande

Gday guys.
Just wanted to point out the KTRR-102 rear springs are only suitable for no extra load in the rear.
If you have outback drawers and a fridge or even a roof rack you should be getting the HD rear springs especially if you are going to tow with that extra load.

if the KTRR-102 are rated the same as factory that will suit me fine as I'll be getting Air bags down the track.

Yes, it ended up in the spam folder.Originally posted by Auscanclan View Post
This seems at odds with King springs recommending the HD coils only if there is 300-500kg constant load. Usually the weight of the 3rd row seats and drawers are about the same. But if the drawers are full of lead, then yes probably need to consider HD coilsOriginally posted by mackayvx View Post

AMTS, Im just passing on my experience. I fitted the standard raised coils in the rear of my 120.Originally posted by amts View PostThis seems at odds with King springs recommending the HD coils only if there is 300-500kg constant load.

With drawers, a fridge, a roofrack, a second spare wheel, loaded for a holiday and towing... the prado sagged in the arse very badly. Also the airbags were great until they airline sprung a leak. Saggy bouncy and dangerous.
HD fixed the issues immediately. And it feels great driving it when it has no load and not towing.
No lead ballast required.
The reason i went STD in the first place is because I read the catalouge and ignored the advice of the guys at FULCRUM who i believe are the aligned with the people who import BILSTEIN.
Just looking to save fellow members the headache that i went thru.HERS - KZJ120, BILSTIEN / KINGS, AMTS GEAR, RHINO GEAR, OUTBACK DRAWERS ETC ETC ETC

Your are correct again.Originally posted by mackayvx View Post
Ktrr102 will give about 30mm, no load. Good for a stock car that wants 20-30mm for towing.
They are ok for moderate lift when coupled with ktfr101. Handles it a bit better. Not a 50mm lift!
Although Dobinsons have a greater range to choose from to get your height & ride right, more easily.Comment
