Sly-VY I paid $120 for my full set. I scored them of another forum. If you do a search on the other main Commodore website in the freestyling section, I posted up a step by step guide complete with pics when I did my Clubby. Click on my link under this post to see it on Superlow King Springs. Part numbers, fronts are KHFL 47SL, Rears are KHRL - 46SLHD. Most people recommend going KHRL - 46SLHHD in the rear as they are extra heavy duty. But I have 19's with 245/40/19's and with 5 people it doesn't scrape.

Thanks for the info VYClubby. You have a link for the step by step guide?

Then go someplace that will. There are companies that will insure you for the majority of properly-done suspension mods. My previous car was lowered an inch, bringing it to the minimum 100mm above the ground and it was insured with a Major Insurer for very little extra a year.

I dont want you to run into me if you're not insured for your mods, pal...and you reckon you'll get access to your car after you stack it? Good one.

I lowered mine with pedders sports ryder springs myself and went in for half a kit for a bit more adjustment.
I'm running 18's and mine is a berlina so i'd say sports models are fine but normal models may require a kit depending on how low you go.
