Lowering car, change just springs or springs + shocks
I going to lower my VS and have done some searching and some say you can just replace the springs and others say you gotta do springs + shocks/struts.
Only lookin to lower about 40-50mm and there are some king springs on ebay im lookin at.

Yes you need to change the shocks as well. Otherwise you run the risk of killing someone
Also yours is an IRS model? you'll probably need a camber correction kit.
That dent guy
Let me rephrase the question for you:
"I want to change the bits that hold my car on the road. Should I do the job properly or half-arse it?"

Do it properly, do both........ I waited AGES to lower my car so i could do both at the same time but it was worth it
No substitute for CUBES
got to do both!
The shocks you have will not be set up for the ride height of the new springs. Also, as stated above. If you have IRS you will definantly need to adjust the camber.
If you really want to do it cheep and dont give a toss about handling safety or the RTA, just chop the standard springs... hahaha

Dont chop standard springs, thats just stupid

20-30mm is ok, but anything past that it really is advisable to do the shocks at the same time, not only so they remain captive, but also the lowered shocks to suit will be valved slightly harder, to control the stiffer (lower) spring better, which in turn improves both ride, and handling.

if you have a live axle you cant get a camber correction kit can you?
No, there is no need for one as the wheels on a live axle will always be straight up.
ohk thanks, so if you wanted the wheels to sit under the gaurd and not roll the gaurd you would have to get a thinner tire so it wouldnt scrub?
oh ok thanks
so if the wheel was to sit under the guard you would have to get them rolled if the wheel was to wide?
