    Default Thinking of lowering my VP Wagon

    Hey guys,

    I've been kicking around the idea of dumping my series 1 VP wagon about 50-60mm.

    I've been told that springs for this job will set me back around $200 (I ain't cutting them, phuck that, I like my roadworthy car), and I was just wondering if anyone knew roughly how much the whole thing would cost me fitted at say Pedders or some similar suspension place? I'm too lazy these days to do the job myself and make more than enough to pay to have the job done right.

    For reference, I'm in Frankston, Melbourne, Vic.

    Cheers gang!

    Cool, thanks mate.

    Do remember it's a wagon, so it sits super high, much higher than a sedan.

    Thanks again.

    Some are, mine isn't. Ex fleet wagon, so could have ride height work for hauling crap around. Sits way high and has always annoyed me.

    It's not so bad, feels like a stocky, gets a bit out of shape in the wet though.
