    Looks like a good base to start your mods, were you still interested in the trim parts?

    anyone have anything to say about Lovells?
    i got quoted $950 for king spring ultra lows (with shocks) installed, or i can have the Lovells equivelant for $680... and they'll ballance the wheels aswell.

    ive had no problems at all with lovells springs, they've never given me a problem

    king spring is from rockingham suspension
    and the lovells was from ian diffen rockingham, yeh im leaning towards that but now im starting to wonder whether or not the ian diffen quote included shocks, i may have heard him wrong... but he said its everything i need, and if is going to be ultra low then it will definetly need shocks. im gonna give him another call to confirm tomorrow, if it does include shocks then ill book her in soon. just gotta fork out for stamp duty, rego n a service first :p... ouch! haha.

    yeh i know... $210 difference!
    looks pretty good hey, will post up some pics tomorrow
    called insurance today n was careful with the way i worded it... i told them i upgraded my suspension and that i put king spring SL's in it.. haha didnt tell them SL stood for superlow. just incase they added to my premium or anything.

    sweet cant wait to see how it looks

    haha with that you may want to let them know what springs that are in there, other wise they could be nasty about insuring you, when i let my insurance know about lowering mine the payments didnt go up, only did when i told them about my 20s so you should be fine
