Lovells.. There's 2 options - low or superlow which will drop your car 25-30mm and 45-50mm respectively. I was quoted $165 inc GST per pair which isn't bad. You'll save a heap of dosh if you can do the install yourself

How good are these though? Are they renowned for something good? Quality, reliability?

Thanks

Just be careful in getting springs for the NA's. Since most company's rate their drop on the GT's and 3.0's.

Once you get them on, you will notice that the drop isnt as expected due to the weight difference between the NA's and the GT's/3.0's.

A few 2.0/2.5 drivers have tried various springs, spending too much $$ and eventually opted for coilovers to get the perfect height they desired.
