    Default Want to un-lower my VT....

    I bought a VT about 6 months ago, and it was lowered when I got it. I'm thinking about putting it back to standard height, it has a clubsport body kit but I have to watch speedhumps even when going slowly as the skirts will hit and it's a bumpy, firm sort of a ride. Do loads of highway driving so just trying to make it more comfortable...
    What's involved? Just springs and shocks? What sort of price would I be looking at to get it raised back up to normal height??

    Thanks guys for any info on this....

    Have you got a Suspension specialist in your area, It is an easy fix, take it into your local springworks, my local bloke changed ride heights and replaced worn bits, i got the car back perfect for $300 with new Heavy duty springs in rear, as long as your bits are not backyard butcher jobs, you should be able to get the heights adjusted cheap.

    Dont go back to stock height, look at getting adjusted to around 1.5 - 2 inches clearance between top of tyre and bottom of guard, this will be legal and get over most road obstacles without scraping, and still look nice and low.

    If I get some higher springs to lift her up a bit, what can I expect to pay to have them changed over??
    Any recommendations for places on the Gold Coast to get the work done?
    Cheers.
