    Get super low pedders from JAX - about $480 for all four fitted and alligned.

    Or just get Ultra low kings at the back and super low at the front and fit them at the cheapest place if you cant do it yourself... You can probably pickup up a set of 4 lowered springs for about 250-300.

    IDK about shocks as mine came with shortened shocks already sorry.

    You will most likely NEED an allignment after it.
    I build websites for cheap.

    more to lowering a vn than just springs and shocks ????? check your panhard rod length , reset all bushes , rolling guards , check the height and clearance when loaded , reset wheel alignment front and rear , consider the C angle of the diff and drive line angle , height of the centre bearing , exhaust clearance .

    genuine front fe2 are available and cost me $55 each.
    Hard to beat that price and they are properly made to suit the car.

    I like the whiteline "full works" kit best (handling pack with bushes & radius rods & adjustable sway bars & panhard rod + shocks & springs pack), you get a great result and fantastic handling but it's pretty expensive. Mine cost a bit over $2k fitted. I must admit my car was trying to kill me with a bizarre suspension fault before I did that so it was worth it for me.

    I am running super low kings in mine. You can take corners alot harder and go through round abouts with **** all body roll. It looks pretty sweet low. You gotta remember that when you lower it you need new shocks to match and a adjustable panhard bar for the live axle.

    With super lows you want to change your shocks to Monroe 25-3632 for the front and Monroe 15-0567 for the rear, they have been designed for these springs. Get a adjustable panhard bar on there and refresh all your bushs with better aftermarket ones and you have pretty much hit the wall with upgrades you can do.
