I know this question is asked every week and yes, I have searched which helped me.
I recently chucked some 19's on it and am looking to lower it.
1) I am unsure as to go SSL or just SL? or was considering SSL in back and SL in front. Has anyone done this and got some pics so I can see? I don't want it to be defectable, but would like it close-ish to the limit (100mm at lowest point)
2) I'm a bit of a mechanical retard, if I was to buy the parts myself from the Sponsor on here or something, whats a ballpark figure of what it would cost me to get em put in?

Cheers Guys :beer chug:

Heres where it sits at the moment..

I reckon superlows all round would look great and your probably going to be up for around $200ish dollars for just the springs or around $500 with shocks as well.

Thats if you can find a good deal.

I reckon you would be allright with ultra lows, but a set of sl or ssl will look great anyways

Cheers guys, would I be alright for the time being just replacing the rear shocks? I know its better to replace front + back with shorter but I'm on a pretty tight (schoolkid) budget and thres a difference of about $200 not having the front shocks..
