    springs are usually about between $120 - $140 a pair and a camber kit is a different story.............thats what costs the most usualy

    im getting king spring put in my VT at 12:00 today. Its lowering it about 1 1/2 inches but all i realy want is the rigidness, not the rolly polly of the standard springs.
    overall its costing $450 fitted with a pair of things that go around the strut tower

    the K-MAC thing-os absorb road noise and vibrations...get a camber castor kit, saves the life of your tyres and provides a smoother ride, feels a bit quicker to me also as your tyres are straight, aligned and ready to rumble...ive put the full kit on mine and lowered her, knowing someone only cost me $550 for the whole job, front, back, castor kit, k-macs and all, sooooo i dont know the general retails price...definitely get the camber kit...you'll be surprised how much your tyres last for one
    Drive it like you stole it now CHAMPS!!

    here it is 1st one is it now, 2nd one is it before the 3rd shot shows the standard height of a VY SS. its prety high when you think about it.
    i didnt want the mud flaps to rub on the road so its not ultra low but im happy with the height. Its more for the rigidness

    yeah chevy I am lookin into lowering my VT and your height looks sweet as. Would you be able to get part numbers for your springs??

    Also, what is the height difference from the guard to the top of the wheel front and back.

    I just went to the performance place and he attacked the car with a tape from the centre of the wheels and asked roughly where i wanted the car to sit.

    From the bottom of the guard to the center of the 17" wheel with 17/45 tire is 31.5 mm
    front is 33 cm.
    in not sure what sort of spring they are (low, super low ect) or if they are a custom height.
    Ok part numbers.
    because i wanted a specific height he has mixed and matched.
    Front is KHFL47SL Spring F Low VR-VZ
    Rear is KHRL127SSL Spring UTE S/Low

    Save yourself some hassle and alot of tyres and just don't do it. If you really must get a VX2 or upwards, they can take it.
