General every day driving I dont bottom out on anything - speedbumps etc are no problem. I havent scraped the front bar yet so no probs there either.

What springs: King Springs SP4 (SSSSL)

What shocks: Monroe GT short shocks/bump stops

Ride height after: came down about 40mm at the front and 45mm at the rear

Ride quality: Good with the shocks, the stock shocks cant handle lowering that much

Where from: King Springs Sydney - Wholesale Suspension, Penrith

How much: $850 incl wheel alignment

And model: sedan

On the standard 18" wheels the ground clearance was a bit tricky in spots and you had to pick where you drive. I have since put 19" R8 wheels on the ground clearance is much better. This setup wont fit 20" wheels without them going up into the guard.
