places that lower your car for $300-400 any tricks?

Mate make sure you do the homework before you get it all done.
Dropped mine an inch or so and kicked the wheels up to 17's (with low profiles) a few weeks ago.
Unfortunately the offset on the wheels isn't the best and even with rolled guards it scrubs on bumps.
Also I was dumb and got my shocks checked AFTER having it lowered, found out they arn't in the best condition so now i need to replace the shocks (and some other bits and pieces).
Could've spent the cash in the beggining and got coilovers
Fulcrum does the checks for free too.
Live and learn though i spose.

O also i went through Ozzy and i'd say im neither for nor against them.

not planning to get rims at all...
i will have to ask around for a few more days then i will work it out.
thanks for the phone number on the previous page
yeah i did find that sydney shocks place but never had time to get around to them.
they are the only guys in sydney on the eibach site.
if it's around $300 for the prokit i'll be happy...

about the shocks, is it as easy as taking off the wheel and checking for leaks or is there more to it like doing a suspension test?
my car only bounces once when you push down on the car chassis. my local mechanic said the shocks bounce fine when he did that and he didn't see any leaks. when he was under the car.

$300 in australia? stop kidding yourself
they're ~$500AU without installation
pay up if you want the good stuff otherwise its just wishful thinking

LOL

Skunk2's on ebay in the states is around 400 all up delivered and Honda Tech guys would SWEAR there lives on those things

US ebay might say "we dont deliver over seas" but there are places that WILL and if you contact those who dont some may just say yes
