Another testament why lowering your car using just a Super Low Spring on Standard Shock is not a good idea. How many Km's on standard shock were you able to managed before they blew?

is your setup pretty stiff right now ? if so try get tein flex or buddyclubs so you can go low as you want.
but if you want a softer ride, combine shocks + springs eg. bilstein + eibach or konis etc. you should go to a euro meet up and test out other peoples car and see which set up suits you best . =)

ohsnap George.

Good luck man

Please remember to get some decent aftermarket shocks or a new set of Coilovers once you save up some $

it was only the front which was lowered 2.5 inches the bak was slammed hard but its all good because of the coilovers at the front i only done 9000kms lowered i didnt know it will be that bad it wasnt slammed that much at the front but aw well its tru tho just using springs is pretty shit

na my ride is beautiful i never had a problem with that i think im just going to add k sport coilovers to the front as well because the ones i have no at the rear are so low yet so smooth i still have full shock travel because they dont lower on the spring perch they are pretty good coilovers, but in regards to every1 says it was pretty low etc, thats the bak that is pretty low and their is no problem with it, its the front right shock that is leaking a but of oil thats a comination of bad luck and it being lowered because it wasnt that long or that low that the front

imo, 2.5 inch on stock shocks is low.

imo you should have gotten the full round of coilies when i mentioned it on the bluies cruise.... :p

time has come for you to take the step up for them.

as you know the ozzie dollar still sucks big time so you still might be paying a bit dearer for some of the coilies....

i think the cheaper brand would be going for D2 coilovers or basic tein SS but need to query on whether they come in full sets or just front/rear.

but look @ the traders and see what coilies they have in stock and start from there, past few times i've seen D2's and teinz but check again.
