Why wouldn't you just buy lowered springs?

Compressing std springs will retain the original rate. Lowered springs often have and increased rate.

I compressed the fronts in the wife's GenIII as I just wanted it lower and I liked the ride quality of the std spring.
20,000ks later and all is still good.









If I said I did it myself, I'm sure I'd get flamed........

My father in-law is getting his truck's springs reset in Spotswood, I'll ask him for the business name.

This is an affordable lowering solution for eg lighter na Libs. :assassin:

You do it because:

You can easily specify the exact lowering amount :)

You'll probably have the choice to get your springs powder coated your preferred colour :P

If you wanted slightly stiffer springs you could get GT wagon springs compressed :good:

If you're still reading, iirc Hart Bros in Melbourne do non-authorised custom billie rebuilds. :nyam:
& Quadrant are the authorised local billie refurb and supplier. :mrgreen:
