    Question compressing springs

    hey all,

    i want to compress my rear FE2 springs. i got quoted by The Tyre Factory for $110 if i took out the springs and took it to them to compress. is this a good price or can i find a cheaper place?

    You want to stick to the road like shit to a nappy. Well, I hope you've got more done then lowered springs.

    I'm not sure how the vs would go, but with the vl for example, with a completely different rear setup, its not as simple as springs and shocks.

    Springs yes, adjustable front and rear shocks, adjustable strut tops, adjustable sway bars, adjustable panhard rod, all bushes replaced with preference between rubber and nolethane. And thats still a fairly simple suspension setup, but it should hold nicely.
