[vr1uz-fe]

for some good ones your looking at 2000 installed

[mattgreen]

what price would springs n shocks cost?

[soop]

$2000 would be entry level decent. lol.

Anything less then $2000 for coil overs and you're paying for pain, they leak and cary on. And ride rough as guts!

A mate of mine got Pedders sports ryder springs and shocks for $1600.

[vr1uz-fe]

1600 thats a bit dear

yea i meant 2000 for something that wont leak and if it dose it is coverd by warrenty unlike evilbay crap

[mattgreen]

do i need to replace standard shocks when i go ssl's?

[vr1uz-fe]

im sure there is a thread some where with this answerd

[soop]

lol, with the time you took to write that you could have just answered.

Yes you will. Standard shocks will bottom out.

[mattgreen]

what do i need shortened shocks?

[HamaTime™]

Yes you will need shortened shocks.

[vr1uz-fe]

no the shocks wont bottom out but shortend shocks will trap the spring

[glenn l]

the factory bump stop will bottom out before the shock will, thats what it there for.

[mattgreen]

my local f1 wheel and tyre does coilovers installed for 1900$,
xyz brand or something like that anyone used them?

[soop]

Don't touch them. They're chinese knock offs and will cause you no end of drama.

My bad, the bump stop will bottom out. I knew what I meant just didnt say it properly :P.
Eitherway, get enoug suspension travel and the spring will fall out with standard shocks. That and they're too soft to cope with the higher spring rate. So the car will be bouncy.

just save a extra grand and get some tien's
