You could always go to a suspension place also and they'll make spirings to what ever height u want them.

Mine cost me $750.
Thats $300 for getting my springs (FE2) reset,
and $450 for KYB struts n shocks.
All installed.
It woulda cost me another $100 to have new springs made, but I didn't want any harder a ride than what I have now.

How exactly do you mean you had FE2 reset??

Compress them down to be lowered....??

$3000??? change suspension places real quick....

i had top caps and bearings plus a some bushes replaced at the same time and round $500.....
if you do it at the same time you save on labour because wheels, structs, shocks, etc are already off

Yeh they compressed them lower. Not sure exactly how it works, but I think they heat em up. I've noticed nuthing bad at all.

The only reason I didn't get new springs is cause I didn't want a harder ride. It woula been heaps stiffer than wot it is.

Compressing your springs does exactly the same thing... It hardens the springs because there is less gap between each of the coils.
