if you are looking for H&R Spring, i know someone that do it for $550 in perth fitted.
there are 2 version of H&R Spring..
normal.. lower the car 3.5cm
and low version lower the car 5cm
Freed, If you like the height why increase the stiffness. All you will get is a more uncomfortable ride. You would be better off increasing sway bar diameter to reduce the body roll. Increasing the stiffness will have that CL7 bucking like a bronco. They are already stiffer than the CL9.
Just want to reduce lift off and nose dive.
I dont know if I am right?
Yeah sorry mate, I read it as you wanted stiffer springs. The Koni yellows are great and can make a difference to those areas. Equally caster settings can reduce dive and squat. The koni yellows are great because you can tailor them to suit your driving with a flick of the wrist. The euro Rs I have driven have had pretty good handling straight out of the box, with all that weight behind the front wheels it is little wonder it squats a bit on takeoff.
Where are you located?
Sorry I have to bring this up again. I wasn't thinking of coilovers before but just bought a set of Tein Flex (still need to pay the guy). Have I made the right decision? Is coil better than Just changing springs?
I went to ozzytyres, i got it lowered 2 at the front and 2'5 at the back on Custom K-Mac springs, set me back $400
I know Springs is cheaper to get than Coils. So do you think springs is better than Coils?Quote:

Definatly not, but im from the school that your not allowed to go more than 60km/h and your not tracking the car.Quote:

I Agree. After having a very firm, stiff and bouncing at times ride before, I'm enjoying the comfort and great stock handling. Maybe some coilovers down the track when the shocks and springs pack it in later.
