$1,300 is the norm. Hard to get them cheaper than that but you can find them for $1,100 sometimes. Good luck. You'll love them.

After doing some reading up and seeing so many mixed opinions on whether or not to go Coilover or shock spring set up need more tips!

I have a N/A MY07 wagon, im looking for a 40mm drop (or round abouts) i dont really care about handling cause i dont race etc. just want the best COMFORTABLE setup possible, i love the comfort of boats :)

King springs in stock struts, very cheap, unven lowering and probably average ride. Around $300

New billies from wheel power with phat spec tein springs, perfectly even 30-35mm
Drop, decent ride ~$900 new. Probs ~$600 secondhand.

entry level coilovers (BC BR as per this thread) good ride (adjustable) perfect drop (adjustable) ~$1150

the ride is the same with the kings/billies as it is with stock springs/billies.
and yes, uneven lowering 25mm drop in the front, 10mm raise in the rear when i first picked up the car after installation.

unless the back lowered the same as the front, i wouldnt recommend them

If you don't care about handling and like the boat you might want to consider option 4.

Angle grinder , cutting disc and zip ties. Total cost about $10. :lol:

I wouldn't however recommend option 4, just putting it out there. King springs with existing shocks should suit you fine.

hmm after doing some more reading up, and changing my mind about a million times due to the amount of different opinions... think im starting to lean towards PHAT s techs and billies, dont really wanna go the king spring option as i have had bad experiences with ride comfort in the past and have heard to many bad reviews about uneven lowering.

How do i go about ordering a set of billies from wheelpower anyone have part numbers? as i dont think we have wheelpower down this far south :(
