Low enough for me!

[joesvs]

finally got the old VS lowered!
:yeah:
Lovell superlow springs all round and KYB shocks.
What a massive difference it has made to the car. It is so much more responsive and feels completely different than what I expected. Corners much harder (well as best i could go with old springs rolling around in the back). It felt level when cornering, much better under brakes and the ride comfort was fine. i expected it to be a bit of a pig and a bit of a rougher ride, but it was better than the old flogged out shocks. all up i got appx 40 mm at the front and appx 80 at the back. it sits alot better than before. Total cost was $900 fitted from WA suspension in East Fremantle. Michael was very helpful and understanding in what i wanted to achieve and let me know what options i had. would definatly use them again for more work.

only bummer is my rim offset is a bit **** and i get a slight rub:bang: . unfortunatly because of the rim offset it cant be fixed with an adjustable pan hard bar.
Doesn't matter
it'll wear in before it wears out.:rofl: (hopefully)
N E Way. heres some before and after pics.
hope you like, let me know what you think!!

[joesvs]

$660 for the bits + wheel alignment
$250 for labour
made it a clean $900

looks sweet as......... can't wait till i do it to my vr wagon

 

[ssmate]

hey why are there all different sizes for each side? or was it just on an unlevel suface when it was measured?

 

[joesvs]

no idea. i measured it in the driveway. it looks flat.
some reason the drivers side sat lower before i got it lowered and still has a slight difference after. ??????? Might have a fat previous owner? LOL
the suspension guy said the front still might need to settle in and may drop about 5 mm max.

which is funny because my car sits higher on the drivers side with no loads and my dads S2 exec sits lower drivers side.

both stock suspension.

still your ride looks great, nice and smooth

$900 seems a fair bit for lowering, mine only cost $400 but i guess i did get the wheels and shocks at the same time

 

[boojak87]

Driver's side is meant to sit higher with no one in it to compensate for when the driver hops in.

$260 for a pair of front struts, $130 for rear shocks. and i guess the springs were $270.
not bad when pedders qouted $1300 and other places were still around $950
