lowering price??

[cjcrow]

hey buddy, i got my vt lowered and all up was $2,000. Thta included new shocks in the rear, new struts for the front, new springs all the way round as well as a 4 point camber kit and new bush kit. So it depends on wat u wanna go. If you just go springs the ride will be rougher but its a hell of a lot cheaper. Need to work out your budget and then decide what you want. Hope that helps.

That's not a bad price.

I think so. You've got standard length shocks with superlow springs. Therefore the shocks are already sitting below their 'normal' extended length. As a result they have much less room to move to do their job effectively. Hit a good pothole and they will bottom out.

May as well. No point in paying the labour for two jobs when you can do it once. What brand and model are the shocks and struts?

I got King Springs super lows $220 for fronts(KHFL-47SL) & rears(KHRL-46SL),Fitted for $162 & a wheel alignment for $38.

All up cost me $420 which i was pretty happy with.

Dont over pay for springs.

I've got new king lows and monroe gt shocks and struts. Apparently I'm not trusted to install them so I'm wondering how much installation will cost. I'm in forest lake near brisbane. If anyone can recommend somewhere or wants to do it for a few cartons (obviously you must be proficient) then let me know. Car is a VX2 V6.

Hey guys i got a quote from a shop to lower my car on king springs wit a mandatory wheel balance for $495...

just wondering if im getting ripped or anything? or is that a competitive price??

Fair price but you'll need a 4 point camber kit to preserve the rears and make use of the new found traction.

VXII got better rear camber adjustment that you just can't get out of a VT
