standard shocks? you gotta be f.ukkn kidding man. they aint gonna last long with superlow springs on em and considering the age you be better off to go with all new equipment.

i recently fitted superlows all round with monroe gt gas all round. its nice but i think its too low now. should have gone with just lows. might look better after i upsize the rims but i would definately advise you to go with lows and new shocks.

a camber kit is not optional you simply MUST get one. you tires will be fukkd b4 long not to mention the awful handling. i had the camberkit fitted with the lowering but drove for a day without it actually wheel aligned. get the shim type to. some people say ratchet sucks


i paid $420 bucks for the shocks and springs. just ask people you know eventually someone will have a contact

anybody considering not getting a camber kit is crazy in IMO. fitting a camber kit now will save you lots of money in the long run. also i say go S-Lows all round, shortened shocks at the rear.

i dont think it would be a big job to fit because my car is at pedders getting it done now and im only being charged $90 for the labor...im not too sure about parts because it came with a full nolathane suspension bush kit for $535 from ebay
cheers

it depends on what hight you want exactly??? What type of springs do you want pedder's, king's, dobson's etc. They all sit at varied hights and have different characteristics about them..........If your car is an everyday car i would say go lows all round or quite possible lows in the front and superlows in the back but thats up to you. Ultralow springs are the lowest you can possibly go, unless you chop or compress your springs.

Check out XR-6000 he has ultralows all round and im pretty sure its legal on his car. It just depends on what exactly your after, do you want to go right on the leagl limit or even lower? What sacrifice are you willing to make for the comfort ride of your car? Do you want a ride that sits fairly low and is comfortable to drive in or something that just looks good?

Yeah there's a lot of variation but if you spend the right cash you'll get the right setup, so shop around and do a bit of research!
