suspension, let me see if i got this right

[sictj]

hey guys. from allll the dozens of posts ive read let me see if ive got this right!

ive got an 05 vz berlina with 20's (225/35/20)

i want to lower it a little...

SO ill need:

King Springs SL rear
King Springs L front
Rear camber kit
Rolled rear guards

that sound right??

any thoughts on stuff or suggestions?? i dont wana be chewing 20" tyres ay

cheers

not really, peddars lowering spring all round , dont need a camber kit, it can be slightly adjusted.. and depends how low you want if u need the gaurds rolled

[sictj]

any idea wat its worth to let pedders do it?

[sweefu]

a fair bit mate, they usually charge through the teeth.

[sictj]

yeh thought so. i know they quoted 2100 to replace the suspension in my 2001 tj magna....just under half of the value of the car LOL.

$750 in labour alone

I've found Pedders to be extremely reasonable? By far the best suspension joint in my city..

[sweefu]

i'm in canberra and its pretty bad.. they charge $190 to swap rear springs lol

[sictj]

hmm anyone know what brissy prices are like??

[impulsive]

any tyre shop can do it! Jax quickfit did mine.. $500 all four corners including bushed and wheel alignment.. plus they readjusted my camber for me

[Kal123]

Seams like the prices vary alot lol..

[sictj]

so have u got 20's also??? how low did u go

[impulsive]

19's i think it dropped about 2 inches.. just tucking the rear and on the front..


heres a pic

[sictj]

nice that sits really well...does it scrub?? do u wear even tread

[sictj]

this is how it looks at the moment, jus got the rims 2nite

[impulsive]

nice.. i had a tiny bit of scrub which i rolled myself.. (lowered the car onto some pipe off jack) was only bout 1cm though otherwise no scrub, tread wears evenly after the camber was adjusted..

[Kal123]

Looks great! You'll only have to lower it a few inches to get it sitting sweet.

[impulsive]

which is what this thread is about..

[sictj]

so SL rear u think??? or L??

[Kal123]

Which is exactly the point of my post...

COMMODORE & MONARO ADJUSTABLE REAR CAMBER KIT VZ ..NEW - eBay, Other Car Parts, Accessories, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 27-Aug-09 10:41:26 AEST)

this would be all i need..
i see the k-mac ones but they seem a little extreme. this would handle SSL wouldnt it?

and is SSL still legal? in height and drop?

[impulsive]

As i said before, camber kits arent neccesary on these as the rears are adjustable to a certain extent anywayz.. although i do suggest getting a wheel alignment after a few Km's as the wheels will sit differently after the springs settle..

okay sorry, 'About' 2 inches.. i didnt get a ruler out and measure it.. i also have 245 R19's.. before you get the guards rolled find out where it scrubs ie lower it, then do a test drive, usually it will wear on the guard where it needs to be rolled, depending how much, do what i did
