Greetings,
Figured I'd get my tax done soon and just want to sus out some prices.
I'm sick of my springs creaking and i bloody hate body roll!!
So... I'm after new suspension, I have only the basic knowledge of it, thus why I'm asking you genius' :)
Atm my springs are reset and compressed which was just a cheap way of lowering that, well besides from cutting the springs myself...

1 1/2" lower at the front and 1" lower at the rear... I like the ride height but the springs are still factory and soft as. I cannot stress enough how much i body roll.
I see that most of youse have Super lows at the front and just lows on the rear?
Any info and input is very welcome and appreciated :)
cheers

Second bit of advice, do a search. There are 1 billion threads on this (admittedly I have probably even started one). There are springs for sale in the FS section atm, fair price. Installation is 250-300 if a pro does it. Free if you're handy/can follow the forum how to guides.

:stoopid: Agreed.
1. How much money do you have to spend?
2. How many Ks has your car done?
3. Have the shockers ever been replaced?
If you want to do it right, replace shockers, springs + add a rear sway bar. Brand new for all this & you could be looking at $1000 incl. labour or more. It all depends on how much you want to spend, I guess.

it's a very good idea to replace the bump stops and bushes- saying that u reset and compressed the standard springs means ur bump stops, bushes and most things that had elasticity would be most probably busted to hell
ur shock absorbers would be pretty stuffed too if they're standard shocks, when lowering u should get shortened shocks to compensate for that loss of height
give phillcom an email, they'll get back to u fast (well, during the week they do)

Yep. I thoroughly recommend them! Shawn asked me what i wanted from my car and gave advice to what would suit me best. I didn't want a super low ride height as handling is my priority so he advised me to get King SP low springs and Boge shocks. I absolutely love it! Now for a rear sway bar... :D
