    i thought the defect was on the clearance of the entire body of the car? as in, the lowest point of the car has to be more than 50mm off the ground or something?

    i heard some people do a wheel alignment 1 or 2 weeks after installing new springs.
    should you do it straight after or wait a little?
    i'm still thinking between kings or eibach...
    is there much difference? will kings sag really bad after a year or something?
    what about spring rates? the higher the rate the bumpier the ride right?

    also i've heard about bushings and all that. is it best for me to get em checked when getting the springs changed?
    are the bushings and all that widely available? if i need to change em will it take a day or two or should someone be able to make a quick trip and buy a set? what about prices?

    U should wait before doing the alignment.... u have to wait for your springs to settle..

    thats y they advice 1-2 weeks to come back..... usually its free anyways..

    mate got his lowerd at ozzy tyres $390.. dun fink it was king spring tho

    i called ozzy recently...the guy didn't have a good attitude..
    apparent they only use kings/kmac

    their website makes them sound like like pros but when you call em up they sound like typical hoons...
    he said something like 'bring it in, we'll measure your car, you choose where you want it to sit and we will do it for you'
    i asked if they can order eibach..the guy replied to me with 'why'?
    cause i said i prefer eibach over kings...i asked if they can order it and they go no...
    then i said thanks and the guy just hung up...
    very good phone manners...

    coz your asian and his probly lebo and he stereo typed u as typicial asian bringing in your honda seevic (althought u have a prelude the stereotype worked better with seevic) to lower it on your 15" JDM rims which is offensive 2 them because they sell nothing smaller than 22" usually installed on coupes


    LOL

    nah but seriously most of these places are like this...

    lol...
    i know how they are..
    i deal with people as a job and i know when i see someone that is going to be annoying
    i had one come in and say stuff liek
    'bro i bought this a few months ago and recently it f'ed up on me' and shit'

    yes them and their 20" inch rims slammed under the guards..
    i don't like cars that are dumped like that..i like my mods to be subtle if you know what i mean..i don't want my rear wheel 2 inches inside the guard or anything. i just want an even drop with a 1-2finger gap above the wheel and i want to be able to get to most places in sydney..
    getting stuck on every speed bump is not cool..
    recently i saw a ute with the front high and the rear wheel half way under the guard...
    WTF is that stupid shit? seriously...
