HELP!!

    Cheers

    Firstly you won't get into trouble from the feds, as they do not do traffic enforcement.

    Has the law come into effect yet regarding lowering in NSW? Requiring engineering for anything other than standard height? If not, then you can go 50mm lower than "stock" height, which may or may not be where your car sits at the moment. SL King springs will get you there the majority of the time.

    You won't really need the panhard rod.

    I can do springs and shocks shipped for $650 in Super Low or Low (which is FE2 height)
