Damn that looks hot as but as usual I prefer handling over looks. I drive quite hard at times so my car needs to handle well.

Riding on bump stops does no good to your chassis.

If you are selling it to some one else then PLEASE put the other springs back for their sake.

You don't even need $1000.

Brand New Springs ($300)
Brand New shortened shockers ($200)
2nd Hand Strut Brace ($100)


I have replaced a few rubbers and bushes hear and there, but the springs and shocks are what get the car to sit like this, for not a great deal.

Depends on what you want from the car, mine has proper KYB shortened shocks in the ass, KYB adjustable fronts, etc

I want it to go where ever i throw it.

A mate of mine thinks its a freak, being that he's spent $1000s on whiteline gear, and mine handles to the same high standards he has.

it doesn't even need to cost a great deal.

I replaced my shocks and springs front and rear on the weekend. Total cost, lets see

$180 for the front springs and shocks together FE2 brand new of course, just gotta know the right people, there is a place in Croydan PM me for details.

They also have stuff for IRS but not liveaxel which is what ive got so off to repco to spend

$254 for the rear set up. Total cost of $334

My mate helped me install it as he has done it a few times, I bought him 4 jimmy blacks $20 odd dollers and a subway $7 doller or so.

lets also take into consideration ive replaced almost every bush myself as well, my car handles like a dream, I choose saftey over looks for sure, I spent the money I was saving for cosmetic work on bushes and suspension.

Yeah i should've specified. Sorry

I have Pedders all round. Fronts are shortened, but no-one offers a rear shortened.
