or is there a DIY.. we can do at home?

I have noticed the thread for installation of coilovers and attempted to swap my current buddy club N+ spec to a set of Tein SS and found out that the Teins body is actually longer then the Buddy clubs, and so i couldn't squeeze the Teins onto the fork as described in the diagrams of the DIY.

so i made a couple of calls around for a price for install and found out a couple of places in sydney. Most places were quoting around the $220 mark but i got mine done at hanneys for $180 installed but without wheel alignment, but it's up to you depending what you think is more reputable.

just out of curiosity, do all states in oz have the same guidelines as to how high the car must be off the ground? because i will be working interstate occasionally in melbourne.

as far as i know its 10cm clearance from the lowest point of the car. whether that be the bumper or exhaust or headers. not sure about other states

melb is 100mm on the lowest point of the car

i'd say go for eibach and not tein SS....

once you lower it the 1st time,
you will want to lower it more.

After that you won't be able to enter shopping centres, work carparks and various speed humps..(depending where your living in sydney)...

Agreed.Good advice.

^ yeah thats true. But i would definitely recommend tein SS. As good as the eibachs are, the coilovers allow more play with ride height. It really depends on the person that you are and the image/look that you want to reflect.

Originally i wanted a mild drop to keep the stock look, but the longer i had the car the more i adjusted the height to suit that look and the practicality that i needed. I think coilovers allow more customisation of the look of the car imo

on the other hand, some shocks (i think Koni, not sure about bilstein), you can also adjust the perch and height of the car?
