how much lower are the sports ryder springs? Does the advance have factory lowering? would the sports ryders be lower?
i don't want the whole "pedders suck, buy king springs" debate in here. a friend of mine is selling some for the tf magna, so i can get them cheap.

the Advance is not lowered from factory. nothing wrong with pedders, most springs used in aust are made by them.

I don't think they'll fit in the 2nd generation will they?

definitely not the back, apart from the wagon, 2nd gen have rear struts, completely different steup. front maybe, contact pedders.

their is nothin wrong with the pedder it is just that they have a more expensive RRP. Which ones you going to get, the 30mm or 50mm lower? If you get the 50mm i would advise gettin new shocks as well. You will be pleased with the difference! :D

I don't think they'll fit in the 2nd generation will they?
That doesn't matter because they arn't goin on a 2nd gen, they r goin on 3rd gen..
How much lower than stock will the "Sports Ryder" springs be? These are comin with shocks, so hopefully it will be an ok ride.

How hard are these for me to put on at home? Do i need any special equipment?

Cheers,

you need 2 spring compressors, I perfer 3 as it gives me more assurance.

then you'll need the standard spanners , etc...

This should save you a hundred or so of labour, then you gotta get Wheel Alignment done.
