Send off a few emails requesting prices including freight, help them out and look up the part numbers you need in the online catalogs.

Lovells (manufactured in Sydney) also make aftermarket springs for Subarus.

Refer to their spring catalogue for Outback part numbers (page 36)

thanks guys...

Lightning_Silver_RX: please let me know if you get any info!

sven '2': hehe... that's a great idea... but 2008 is a bit late for me... by that time I'll most likelly be considering a turbo swap so you're wife has some time to build some muscle to carry around a full bag of turbo parts...

if you're lucky you might even see some of this in Iceland:

sorry, no official gallery... you can browse through the whole gallery at http://www.f4x4.is (just click on the small picture on the left side of the page)... there are some pictures of the 44" subbie in there but it's a huge gallery so finding it is a bit difficult...

all I know about the car is that it's built on a range-rover frame and has custom built coil suspension... running a v8 alluminium rangerover engine... and yeah, it's street legal...

Freighting this stuff is going to be the expensive part. I'm waiting to hear back from some places.

outback King raised springs & KYB struts/shocks (all 4) cost me $A1000 a few months ago. i *think* the springs were $200/pair....
ordered from a local shop, but they came from here....
http://www.nationalparts.com.au/np/index.html

there at 8 Hume St Smithfield NSW 2164.
search whitepages.com.au for "National Parts" Sydney 2164
for all the details...i'm sure if any mob could do export for you, it might be them i guess?
Good Luck.

I think the last set I quote were around 750-800 for lifted Kings and KYB struts.

well,
I can get a set of four KYB struts for around $250 (usd)... are you telling me that raised King springs cost around $500? I find that to be a bit expensive...

Have you thought to send King Springs an e-mail asking if they do international orders?
