i couldnt decide wot springs to get 4 my car but i ended up getting pedders which my mechanic & few others recommended..

if ur a hot4s reader, issue 122 (april 2005) has a full guide on aftermarket suspension 4 aust, its very helpful!!

EFs look hot with H&R Ultralows (coilovers). But I haven't been able to find anyone who can get 'em for me.

has anyone on here got a lowered ef9?

I do - but not extensively lowered. Legal but low. I used the Jamex package and had the springs retensioned to drop another 1/2 inch.

Whiteline complete package is my choice - it comes in around about 1500 bucks and includes stiffer adjustable rear bar as well as a full height adjustable setup. I was quoted on Konis as part of the setup.

I wouldn't piss on King springs if they were on fire!

If King Springs were on fire, I'd toss them on Peddars who are the worst spring/shock company I have ever experienced. Use them at your peril.

you wanna go all out j man or you just want it to sit nicer? i reckon some koni's wouldnt go astray. see if its interchangable with ef8 (not sure bout the rear). me or garett can ring up whiteline and see what they can do.

[Jarrod]

nah dont want to go all out jp
just want it to sit a bit lower around the volks ;) more of an aesthetic look really, as i dont plan to track her, everyday car really

im workin tomorrow so ill try whiteline for you. try and stay away from kings at setanta said.

[garett]

bit lower around the volks ;)

you just had to throw that in there didnt you

[Jarrod]

ok, sounds good jonny let us know wat u come up with

[garett]

does anyone know if the ef9 shares the same suspension at its aus brother the ed hatch?

[Setanta]

No it doesn't. The front is the same, but the rear isn't: disk brake rear end compared to drums and the rear shocks have different mounts

does anyone know if the ef9 shares the same suspension at its aus brother the ed hatch?

would EF9 have the same sus. setup as EF3?

wouldn't Konis adjustable with Eibach springs be a good setup? i was told just under $800 delivered (not installed), which would lower your car 2.5" at most.
