Going lower

[Woodduck]

I currently have bilsteins with S-tech springs. Ever since I bought them i havn't been happy with the front ride height. What should/could i go for to make it a bit lower at the front?

Coilovers are the only logical solution. I wouldn't recommend chopping your springs, although I'm sure some VL/Commodore drivers do it.

You could also put 200kg of weight in your engine bay. THat'd lowered it a bit.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. And no, no chance of cutting springs lol. My sisters boyfriend did it to his first car and literally threw up because the ride was that rough haha.

What coilovers would I go for? Can you get only the front?

You can get just a front pair, it depends on the seller really. Probably best bet would be Michael, see if he can source you just one pair instead of both ends.

Don't bother with just fronts!... the difference in cost would not be that much I reckon, and you'll never have as balanced a ride!

Set of 4 coilovers is the way to go... and just adjust away until you are happy!

what is the measurement from the top of the tyre to the guard at the moment?
i will have pics up this arfternoon of my 3.0rb with the pedders springs , im pretty happy with them !!

Don't buy just fronts you will have a mismatched ride. A cheap option is to get your springs reset, ie heated and compressed from a suspension specialist, however it may weaken them slightly. Best option is to go with coil-overs, if you're on a budget have a look at the BC br series ones or like Jimmy's HSD.
