hi guys,
basically I am looking at slightly lowering my lib, nothing silly like but I feel it'd look better with it lowered ever so slightly. anyway, my question, and since I have 0 experience with kind of work, what would be the best way to go about this? From what I've read around here, BC BRs seem the "go to" set of coilvers..? Worth the purchase? If so, where would be the best place for me to purchase a set and have them installed (I would love to do it myself, enjoy learning about this kind of stuff, but for a first timer best get it done professionally). I live in melbourne btw.
lib is an 07 model
thanks

mate,
get a set of bilsteins and springs from a Gen4 SpecB Liberty
If you want to go lower, use STi pink springs, you'll be down about 30mm from a standad height
here's my car with the Bilstein/ STi springs.
Note, I'm back to running 17" wheels and 215/55 tyres in thins shot

I recommend something silly over slight lowering.
They are not too hard to install, you'll just need someone to do an alignment after.
Doesn't matter how many times you get a pro to do it you'll still be a first timer the first time you do it

Some people have had issues with fitting JDM springs to Australian model Bilsteins.
I am also unsure of compatibility with normal Black struts (Not the Yellow Bilsteins)
