mate your ride looks pretty sweet , nice height too , thats about what im looking for ,did you change shocks too ?

Cheers mate. The suspension was on the car when I got it, which is why I'm not sure what the springs are called, and it has comfort gas shocks front and rear (which I can't find part numbers for). When I rang pedders to find out about them they said they would reccomend those springs for anyone after handling more than looks (apart from coilovers etc of course).
The ride is pretty firm and the front end can skip around a bit on bumpy corners but its a big step up from standard.

I'll jump under the car in a but and find those spring numbers for you sometime tonight

Sorry, I completely forgot about that.

Rears are 2123 and fronts 2151. The pedders site doesn't say anything about them except that they are sports ryder springs, which is why I had to ring up

I'd recommend something around Low - super low. I run bilsteins in my VP and you will have a hard time convincing me to that kings or Pedders are better.

it was just a "fault" with the process of Manufacture casting problem the item was "pre Fractured" when fitted to my car not noticable untill broken i drove around withou link rods for 2 daays till they arrived at the workshop as i needed my car for work so link rods arent a majour component really (hence me saying minor)
Disturbed: so you got adjustable rears?? as i only have set rear adjustable front but it sits low in the ass low enough for me anyways and legal 100mm clearance at front as im a P plater and any undue attention from cops would be a bad thing and my side skirts already display maccas driveway symptoms
