    What he is trying to say is DONT DO IT.Not a good start to ask that question first post.Save your money and get propper springs.
    These guys will tear you a new rear if you want to do this.

    Someone please close this thread as we all know how its going to turn out.

    If you don't value your own car, safety, well being or the safety and well being of those around you, then I suggest you buy a bike and sell your VP before you ruin it.

    Short on cash? Chuck a few sandbags and a tool kit in the boot. That'll take care of the ride height.

    Do a search on Cut or Chopped springs and all will be revealed. For safetys sake, do it properly, plus you get a better handling car out of it. Is your car IRS? dont forget a camber kit once you do lower it if it is
    I used to play sports. Then I realized you can buy trophies. Now I’m good at everything.

    kings are about 100-120 per pair but do require the rear shocks to be changed with rear super lows

    get some 2nd hand springs on ebay, you might get the lot for, 50-100 bucks, or go to a self serve wrecker, they won't know the difference between lowered and standard springs, and will probably cost $20 a pair

    Lovells for handling, kings for looks, kings will ride harsher and lower than the equivalent lovells, not being IRS, you dont need to worry about a camber kit
