New Springs/Shocks and Exhaust for VS Wagon

[b1rsey]

I am currently searching for a good setup on my VS Wagon, its live axle and manual and would greatly appreciate input from you guys regarding how i should go about firstly lowering it and then a new exhaust system. After tax time the bank balance grows and i have cash to spend.

I was thinking a redback system i have seen on ebay that is around 230 including postage, they all say direct bolt on which i am taking as where i take off my stock exhaust that is exactly where the new exhaust goes. Can someone elaborate on that please? And if they know whether or not I could find it cheaper.

For the suspension, I started thinking some Kings SL in the back with Ultima shocks from ebay as well...surprise surprise they have the cheapest around i can find, and Kings Sport Lows in the front, as my shocks/struts were replaced recently and after calling Kings they said it wasnt necessary to buy new front shocks as well. But after measuring the difference in height it will make, it doesnt seem worth it for the money that would be spent. After hours on the net, and ebay...again!!! I founs some packages that seemed pretty good that I can alter if need be, eg 2 front shocks/struts, 2 rear shocks and 4 springs in whatever height for 660 all up I was thinking Ultras in the back and seeing if they could put in Super Low front springs because of the natural angle of the wagon , the springs are Kings and the shocks are Monroe GT Sports, does this sound like a good deal. Because as a student that is a lot of money.

And lastly does anyone know if the darkened taillights are legal or not? I have thought about buying a pair as I reckon they would go sweet with my wagon as its a dark burgundy color. Also was thinking about some decals for my car, some mates reckon it sounds stupid but they arent that into cars as me. I was thinking gold falcons down the side of the car and maybe the bonnet because I play hockey for the Falcons and their strip is Maroon with gold logos, I reckon itd go alright, thoughts would be gladly accepted.

Again thanks to everyone who posts and replies on this forum, you really are great people whoo help the mechanically challenged :-)

Try eBay as well, if go into a autopro/autoone and tell them what you wanna do and they could suggest something, as for your tail lights its touch and go, they CAN be darkened but not overly dark - the cops will pull you up if they can't see the indications properly. If its a light spray job it should be fine. But go as dark as you want just as long as the indications are clearly visible. Hope it helped.
