I'm tired of beating my head against the wall in Dark Souls 1, does anyone have any suggestions to help me beat the Four Kings?

Wear Havel's armor. You can find it in Anor Londo. Doesn't matter if you can't roll in it, just tank everything and spank them.

I can try that, any suggestions for my weapon? I'm currently using the Claymore but I have a good chunk of the weapons available to me at the moment including the Demon Machette.

DPS is the only thing that matters for the 4 kings. Zweihander works pretty well for it, but you should probably have pretty high level weapons at this point.

Have you gone back to the Asylum yet?

Oh! And remember to upgrade your armor at the various smiths.

I've been upgrading my kit, I have all but one(?) Ember and I've been interspacing my attempts with the Kings with trying to get Slabs from Darkwraiths.

There's a guaranteed slab from the Stray Demon in the Asylum, though you don't need it for upgrading your armor.

Is the problem not being able to kill them fast enough? They are kind of weak to lightning so you can try to upgrade your weapon to have it, though, imo be hyper agressive, a normal boss would punish you for it but the four kings individually don't do that much damage and the closer you are to them the less damage they'll do with most of their attacks(watch out for the grab tho) so you can afford to go as ham as possible in the hopes of killing them before the next comes up.

Defensively speaking, magic resistant stuff will save you, like the crest shield from oscar, and again, sticking to them to take less damage and have less chances of being targeted by an actual spell, if you're into int then great magic shield does the same job, except way better.
