Get a matched spring and shock combo for the best ride. If you aren't worried about height (or how much you can lower it) any of the options TypeG mentioned will do the trick.
If you are going to spend the money on Mugen or Spoon shocks and springs, I would be looking at coilovers instead. They will offer you more settings and you will be able to lower the car more (Mugen only lowers the car 15mm!)
It all depends on your budget and what you are trying to achieve.
Pedders springs with OEM shocks = a terrible combo
-
for tyres, it is all depends how wide it is too
for 7' wide, i suggest u go 205. go G3 man
i change my car back to stock for claiming insurance since someone hit my car, now i really feel the handling is suck and the ride is funny coz the rims are too thin
hahhahaha
coilover .... u mostly dun need it coz u will hardly go to set yr height unless u go track for best cornering and stuff
i suggest go Koni yellow since it got high low soft hard setting
go trader section, there is a panel beater selling it very cheap.....
-
is it alrite if i use my old pedders springs with the koni shock?? or is it better off changing the springs as well?
any advice where can i get a pair of koni shock in syd?
other than the one TypeG mentioned (Thanks BTW), im just askin this so i can get an estimate and compare which one is cheap
-
if u have $, get new springs as well
my personal will go kg/mm since many frds recommend that to me
or get any good brand will do.......
contact Koni directly and see where is the distrubtor in Sdy or just ask them how much to buy from their place
u looking for $900 for the shocker alone

I got my springs custom made at Industrial Springs in Adelaide.
visit the site at www.industrialsprings.com.au
They got the specs for the jazz so u can tell them how low you want and stuff and they'll make it according to what you want and send it off to ya i think. but i live here in adelaide so they installed it for me as well...dont know if they post it out or not.
The ride is very comfortable with my stock VTi-S wheels. It isn't too rough or too hard ride. But if you have 205/40 or 215/40 or even 235/35 low profiles, it's very very bumpy ride! I had 18" wheels before!
I got set of 4 spring for only au$200 and labor free installation since my car is the first they made for.
The only bad thing about these springs is it's not colour powdered coated. It just have normal paint... you can get it powder coated, but cost extra...
I highly recommend industrial springs. Should email them.
Just to let u guys know.

Does anybody have any comments about Kingsprings? they are an Australian brand and make springs for the Jazz.
-
Yeah my comment is that they suck...
Some people like them, but I don't. I know of a few guys from BMW circles that have used them and they have sagged. There have also been 2 occasions when springs have snapped (2 seperate vehicles).
I'm not slagging off Aussie companies, but for some reason, their suspension components are generally of a pretty poor standard compared to those made in Japan and Europe. If you can afford it, go for a reputable brand from either Japan or Europe. It will cost you a bit more, but the quality is worth it IMO.

at least jus-10 agrees with my point of view
i have said the same thing over & over but got flamed nonstop from people b/c they are "patriotic"

They all probably just think that you are trying to drum up some business for yourself :p
-
they keep saying i'm totally biased
but it is the sad truth, kings/pedders/lovells all don't cut the job
