    Default Wanting to go lower with 20" wheels

    Hey guys ive tried to find some info on lowering my ute again i have pedders sports ryder suspension in at the moment but i want another inch lower at the back, so i went into pedders and they said the only other options would be xa coilovers or bags, id preffer not to go for bags(as much as i would love to) but they would be to exspensive i think and the coilovers will cost $2300 for the front and back can anyone let me know if there is another height i can go with thats more affordable cheers.

    Hi,
    Just throwing my 10 cents in here, everyone seems to go for King Springs, but no one ever speaks about "Lovells", they can supply any height spring. I use them all the time for when clients lower their cars. They can get your height exactly where you want it to be, the only thing to worry about is that you will end up dropping the car onto the bump stops, hence to strut/shocker travel.
    There are after market struts now available with adjustable cups enabling a much lower ride, and also you can now fit larger wheels in as they won't be rubbing on the strut base .
    hope this info helps.
