moorabbin spring works will compress your original springs to any height you want for $150 for the front fitted, not sure about the back as i have leaf springs.

Most people seem to pick up a set of superlows for about $220-250 new. Then just ring up some suspension places to see how much installation is if you dont want to try it yourself.
Probably recommended you upgrade your shocks if you get superlows but with just lows the standard shocks should be fine. |

i paid $285 for my springs front and rear brought them through autobarn.
fronts are king springs super lows and rears are ultra lows. car sits nice and even....and low!!!. Took me about an hour and a half to do the front and about 30 min for the rear just make sure you have a spring compressor. i would post some pics but they are 2 big and dont know how to make them small enough. |
