Guys, got my car booked in for suspension upgrade going in on Tuesday, i have 2 options to lower my VE sedan, I can go 1inch or 1 3/4 inches using Comfort Gas shocks as i want the look as well as the comfort. Spoken to another Pedders service centre this dude tells me that he's lowered many VE's using the 1 3/4 springs using comfort gas and he reckons they sit nice right to the guard and the ride comfort is nice :w00t: Ive been told that you have to modify the bumpstops on V8's but not on V6's, i guess one its lowered theres no going back. What would you suggest 1" or 1" 3/4 lowering i want it to look good, i dont want a defect by the coppers and i want ride comfort, your replies would be appreciated, cheers :thumbsup:

cheers, i just needed confirmation but that was deffinetly the direction i was heading. Do you think i will need to roll the inside of my guards? The size of my tyres are 245/45/18" :w00t: What about the ride comfort & how carefull do you think ill need to be going up driveways etc, especially because my wife will be driving the car too & my boys will be sitting in the back will this be a uncomfortable ride for them? Will i need short shocks? cause pedders only do the standard size and what about bump stops for the front?

feedback appreciated, cheers

currently mine is stock hight, BUT i have had the boot full of cable, we are talking 500kg+ in the boot. It sat with the wheels being hugged by the guards and it did not scrub
