    Default lowering cost for a vs commodore

    hey guys found a nice lowering kit on ebay, check it out. i have been told you need shocks as well as lowering the car with standard shocks can make the shocks fall out, but all good as this kit comes with shocks. just want to know how much to get it fitted, and what you guys think of the lot. thanks, jamie.

    Yes you will need to change the shocks when going superlow or lower.

    You will need the shorter shocks to keep the rear springs trapped so they don't fall out going over a speed bump etc.

    Also when replacing springs and shocks you will need a wheel aligment and if I.R.S a camber kit aswell. Pricing to have fitted I would say around $250-350.

    If you only went lows and not superlows you wouldn't need shocks to suit, but lets face it lows just don't cut it.

    I have superlows with the monroe GT shocks on 18s and I like the way it sits and rides.

    forgot about the camber kit, my car has IRS. got a quote a while ago but dont know what i did with it. the lowering kit seems great with the superlows and monroe gt shocks and it is good you have that on your ride too, get a proper idea about it. i have 17 inch rims on my car though. thanks mate.
