Lowering VF2 SSV Redline Sedan

[saroadie]

yes I recall you making this recommendation earlier so when I asked the suspension place how much it worked out to be the same price as supplying and fitting the springs. Does that sound right? I expected it to be much less

? Not sure if you mean the same price again i.e. double or the same price i.e. no extra. Suspect the former from the rest of your post though.
If it is more than $140 extra so supply and fit the mounts along with doing the spring job, go elsewhere.

Hi Mate - dont want to seem pedantic - are these the part your talking about? http://www.superpro.com.au/tradevie...roduct&cid=999501248&vid=&productnr=SPF1590AK

(Plus posting a reply will help me find them when the time comes to lower my car)

Yep that's them.

ahh sorry I didn't explain my self very well. So basically double the price with the mounts fitted.

Yeah, that's a lot extra for $140-$165 worth (depending on the retailer) of parts requiring no additional labour to install during the spring change save for taking them out of the box they're supplied in, geez.

I'd be getting a second quote, seriously.

Sorry if i've missed it on a previous page, but what have people paid for lowering? i am looking at doing SSL all round on a sedan with the above mentioned bushes

has anyone heard a rumour about Holden fitting incorrect springs in the VFII's somehwere during 2016 which has led to the high ride height they seem to have? Spoke to a suspension guy today and he said that he has had a few cases where FE3 VFII customers cars have been fitted with springs that were different and higher than that of earlier manufactured models?

Yeh. But I thought that was just the 4WD version

Pedders have quoted me $400 to fit springs that I supply or they can supply at the same price. alignment is another 120. Total cost to me for to supply and have them do the work is $915. Is that a fair price or too steep?

 

[arronm]

I paid $650. Drive in drive out.

Including springs?
