i want to lower my TS V6 sedan but i don want to go too low....and i also do a bit of towing with a fairly big trailer.
any ideas what springs and shocks would be best suited for me?
i want it to be totally legal too.

go down 1"
and use heavy duty shocks and springs in the rear to combat the towing of the heavy trailer

whats the drop with lows? 1inch? is 1inch enough or will it not be noticable?
any particular brands of springs and shocks?
what sort of dollar figures am i going to be looking at?

it would be about 900 to lower properly. that includes springs, shocks, and the things the springs sit on.

HAve a look at JELLMAG's car his sits really nice.
btw.
Springs should set you back $220 for the pair.
Shocks are not nessassry if they in good nick and your only going a 1" drop.
will just need a wheel alignment

Um ..
If you do it yourself it will only cost
$210 springs (King Springs Lows all round)
$400 for the KYB reds.
(I bought and installed these in Jo's car)

Shocks are necessary if he is towing a heavy load.. Especially so if he hasnt changed out the shocks since the cars conception..

of course i do lol
not much atm...but will be doing it alot more later in the year.
btw, i had a wheel alignment done last friday....turns out my car had 8mm outside toe on both wheels!!
the guy at the shop said that they had been set wrong from the last place who did it...because they were exactly the same on both left and right! buggers.
at least now my car wont want to go left and right at the same time lol...might have ended up with a TS split down the middle :bowrofl:
