front - $100 (pair) ultralows/superlows
rear - $100 (pair) ultralows/superlows

shocks are KYB japanese company, which arnt too bad for what i expected.

$125 a pair for front and rear

the lot $450.

yes you need shorter shocks if your going super or ultra unless you want to loose a spring.

Thanks Fazz1977,:thumbsup: i rung up Kumbak and they inded had secondhand lowerd sets! i picked up a whole set ,still in the strut towers. With k-mac adjustable tops and still has the front (sports) shocks in em to boot! all for $110. :w00t: i dont know how good the shocks r i will take am out and test em and see wat brand they are.

But Hell i saved a fortune!:yeah: the grumpy old fella that served me said he knew nothing but lowering cars :bang: The springs r yellow i pressume there King Springs. wat height they r i have know idea either, but there fair bit shorter then stock springs so im hopeing there at leat 2" prefelebly 2 1/2" maybe even 3" :D . Does anyone know the cm lenght of lowerd king spring so i can tell for sure???

Theres only 1 problem :bang: lol , ive never put in K-mac adustable spring retainer/plate before!? does anyone know how they work? does this mean i can now adjust my Caster/camber??? if so how do u set/adjust them??:bow

Thankyou again everyone for you paitence and help....
