Get some secondhand lowered springs if you wanna save some cash. The quote I got was like $175 all round I think for secondhand lowered springs from gemispares.. that was fitted too.
Don't quote me on that since it was a while ago, I may have got the prices mixed up. I remember it being WAAY cheaper than pedders tho but that goes without saying I guess. |

| yea suspension places are a rip off, i went and got a quote from pedders in moss st brisbane, n they quoted me like $950 to lower my car 2inches, an from what i gather that was for sports springs, and installation, thats all from what i gather, he said if you go any lower then youll need new shocks too n that'll cost u more. so my car remains the standard height for the moment. |

| big boss, you can go down about two inches or so, but any more than that and you'll need new shocks as well; i just paid $290, just for one set. |
