Do many places actually do this "professionally"? ...I've asked numerous suspension places around here and they flat out told me no...

Most of them dont compress them. However they do send them off to be compressed.

Pedders in Ballarat quoted me $100 per spring to compress.

But really its cheaper & safer to go to a wreckers and buy a pair of lowered springs.

They sure do professionally compress. My old VR had compressed Kings in the back of it.

My cousin landed a vk he was driving on train tracks... went over flat out, springs popped out and spun along the tracks... Could have been deadly if he was trying to outrun a train or one just happened to come by...

Another one?

Ahhhhhhh stuff it...... Its fantastic to cut your springs and the handling is fantastic... Screw it! take them out, take your shockers out aswell, The closer you are to the ground the better and the best way to test this is to take a sudden turn at 100km+ :D (if it doesn't stick to the road you done something wrong)

HEY! while your at it, might aswell take your exhaust off to, BUT make sure you take the cat off (gives you about 35kw at the rear wheels)
AND raise your front suspension, will show everyone how slammed your arse end really is :D.....
Did i mention a pod filter aswell? get one, actually get 2!.......


With these mods i can garentee you will kill any 5L/LS1/2/3 on the road and out handle any performance car..... No ****



Better idea ... we install the chopped springs into your old VN and sell it to him as a VN Gen 3 .... when he hits a tree the seats will keep going :whistling :bow:
