Hey juzsvy,
Mate nice looking pics of your ride in your other post, i am looking forward to seeing some pics of it now it's been lowered, pedders springs and shocks are awesome for ride comfort and handling as well as looks. :bow:
Cheers :D

The FE2 springs are stiffer than stock and will give you fair bit less body roll.. although they dont sit much lower than stock..

Hi mate,good to see someone else is up at this time,the bloke I bought them of reckons it will lower me about an inch or so! If that's not the case then will a lower profile tyre compared to the 215x60x16 that are on the car now make her look lower,this isn't about dropping the hell out of it just want to make it look nicer than standard,cheers

In my opinion I'd invest in some Lovells superlows.. I did and i think it sits perfectly.. without scraping or any trouble from anyone..

Ok guys, click on the link to my ride and check out the ride height there, just posted the pics up on the weekend.
There are pics at the start with the standard height and the lowered pics are down a bit.

Juzsvy your car has come up looking great, nice height now it's been lowered, did you find a big difference in the ride,and have you found the front mud flaps hit everyhing you drive over, I took mine off. :thumbsup:
