Try get some JDM drop ins. King / Dobinsons etc are all poor quality gear, but that depends on what you base "quality" on. Many people seem o think they are fine ... in my exp they are shit.

not saying there the best around, but for a road car i like em (got em in the cressie), even used them on coilies for the 944 at wanners & they were fine.

yep.. they are fine as long as you dont want to drive your car hard, altho a King will be harder riding than factory its still a pretty soft spring and no comparison to coilovers at all!

can pick up s/h coilovers cheap these days anyway, save your pocket money its worth it!

if its just a std liberty and you only use it for road use go lows... superlows will just scrub and make your car look stupidly low

I think we have a pair to suit lying around somewhere but you'd still need another pair.

KYP have a pretty large selection

weither or not RS turbo coilovers will work or not I have no idea - might be the only thing available for your car as I doubt anyone makes coilovers for a stock standard liberty but as I said, might be worthwhile seeing if RS struts are the same boltup

seeing its just a daily with a NA motor no point in puting coilovers in it, regular lows will do it fine, upgrade the rear sway bar and it should do it wonders

but as i mentioned before.. coilovers will be the best thing you will put under it if your after a car that handles

What are your reffering to when you say shit quality? the spring rates they offer, the actual rate vs claimed, or the actually quality of the materials or something else all together??

im no liberty expert but cant you just fit pre 98 wrx stock struts & that will lower the car an inch or so.

The kings in my car were great with the previous turbo setup I had, really allowed good power transfer (11.57 in a 200sx with 300rwhp I woulds say is pretty good testament to that). But now with a larger turbo and the way the power comes on they are just too soft and allows axle tramp. So I guess it all comes down to the setup and requirement more than anything.
