help with lowering my vt
hi guys just after some advice on lowering my car. i dont really no much, i no you nead new springs and shocks, and maybe a camber kit i think. I have a 1998 VT SERIES 1 BERLINA. i have a rough idea of how low i want it, i have attached a photo. about that height would be good.
Can someone help me out with what i should do, should i buy the parts and then get someone to fit them?? or just go to pedders or something, what would be cheaper???
any help i would appreciate thanks

Fulcrum did my wagon - on SL's, shortened shocks and new 'superpro' bushes with 4 point camber kit. But it looks like in the pic they might not be quite SL's????

It looks like lows on the front and super lows on the rear as it sits level to the ground.
If you don't really have any idea, it might be best to get someone to do it.

To me the front look like Super Lows KHFL-47HD and the rear springs Ultra Lows KHRL-46SSL. You will also need shortened shocks.
I would really suggest you get a 4 point camber kit. The above mentioned springs are King Springs. Cost me around $1500 for everything to be done.

Two bags of cement in the boot is guaranteed to do it. Cheap too !!
