Hey guys just wondering what is an average price on purchasing Superlow Springs and Short Stroke Shocks, and having them fitted? Also has anyone noticed a vast improvement in the driving, and steering of a lowered Magna?

Also does anyone have any pics of how a stock Magna will look with Superlows?

super lows make you handle a bit better, but if you want performance, get King lows (very similar to lovelles super lows) they are higher, but are stiffer too.
kings offer standard, sports, sports low, and super low
lovvells offer standard, low and super low (not as low as king superlows)
If you drive lots of long distances or on rough road, or on steep driveways, steer clear of king super lows, they are for show basically.

i dont know about short strokes, but, kyb shocks go nicely on the back, and i am using gt gas stuts up front and they feel very solid, but not too rough.
any suspension place can do it, but make sure they dont charge you more than 40 mins labour per wheel.

this is my car on super low lovvels all round with an empty fuel tank.

kings offer standard, sports, sports low, and super low
Not quite... they offer standard, Low SP (~30mm drop), Low (~45mm drop) and Superlow (~60mm drop, front only).

Springs off the sports model Magnas are only 10mm lower and a fraction stiffer than standard... I wouldn't bother.

thats what i meant, im sure if he will work it out but i got confused, between others

i have lovvell super low in my car, it rides pretty rough but it looks nice.
mine are similar to king lows, but a small bit shorter, mine made 50mm drop after settling in.
