New struts and springs? Your far better off going coilovers for pretty much that same cost.

Can go lower with better ride comfort and get the ride height perfect.

cheers..got any recommendations? I'm not much into lowering than just replacing the stock ones. Not really sure where to source the right struts/shocks or coilovers. Bilstein's? Koni? Also found the BC V1 here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BC-Racing-V1-Coilovers-Coilover-to-suit-SUBARU-LIBERTY-03-08-BL9-BP-/200957568767?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eca0126ff&_uhb=1 ... are they any good? There are quite a few options just wondering which ones would you get and where would you source them. answers are much appreciated.
cheers.

I've got KiDo Coilovers and I haven't had a problem. Very reasonable pricing also.
