Shopped around the various suspension places and decided to go with Pedders. They installed new 30mm lower sports ryder springs, new shocks all round and a 4 wheel alignment. Total cost $1100. A bit pricier that what others are quoting on this subject but the first corner in the Dandenongs proved the cost to have been worth it. And the ride has improved so the family is happy as well.

Thinking about lowering mine about towards the end of year as the ride height is too 4x4 style

$1400 is bit too much as on ebay you can get the same stuff cheaper

Ive just lowered my vyss gone superlows no shock changes no camber kit needed as the VY has enough factory adjustment cost $325 all up as I fitted rears myself I will try and post before and after pics FE2 vs Superlow.
Since lowerd pic the fronts have been put in so the front has gone down about an inch I used lovell springs and are more than happy with the ride it is a fraction firmer than fe2 but not at all bouncy like kings can be.

I had my ute lowered with king springs and it sits nice and low with 19inch xhp sabres, but it is a bit rough on the bumps..

Yeah I got my SS lowered a few weeks ago. It already had FE32, but I wanted it a bit lower.
Got it lowered an extra 1 1/2 inches using Pedders springs. Im soooo glad I did cos the ride is still good and she looks great! Only about $50 more than what I got quoted for Kings Springs too!...... :yeah:
