I might suggest Quickfit at Yeerongpilly, Brisbane South. Sure I'm in Canberra now, but I used to work in a TV repair place near that tyre store. They often advertised, "LOWER YOUR FALCON $300", or "LOWER YOUR COMMODORE $300"

If anything it may have been $350, but it was a good deal. They're good blokes at that store anyway.

i had this ef fairmont lowered a few years back using kings springs and monroe shocks. it handled better but was harsher to ride in. i could have gone super lows to lower another inch but the roads in country QLD are too crappy.
