Lowering springs for Gen3

[thomasw]

Looking for a pair of springs for my 01 gx. Brand is not to much of an issue for me as long as they do the job.
Or if someone may be able to tell me where I could pick up a pair for a decent price that would be great too.
Am located in Sydney.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

My car is lowered on pedders springs, think cost about ~$500 installed

but this was about 5 years ago.

Cheers for replies!
I'm looking at lovells springs but seems the rear of my car would be to low with superlows but the front has plenty of space. Would it be a bad idea to go superlows for the front and lows for the rear?

Just get yours professionally compressed. its only a few hundred $$$, and you can get them tailored to however low you want to go, and ride remains the same

Lowering springs without increasing the spring rate means the suspension will bottom out often.

[thomasw]

Yea considered that but I may as well spend the same money and improve handling slightly as well. Will also invest in shocks in the future too (once money is not so much of an issue).

Ive had mine on my car for 3 years, and they have never bottomed out.

Did your car stay parked in the driveway for 3 years?

[thomasw]

How low did you go?

Your the kinda guy that knows minimal about cars, i notice with most of your responses, you seem to be overly technical, but very misleading and sum what incorrect, and with this topic, its no exception.

Ive had professionally compressed springs installed on my liberty for almost 3 years, and i drive it up to 30,000km a year. So in response to your remark, no i havent had it in the DRIVEWAY FOR 3 YEARS....Your smart arse remark is not appreciated.

You could have just said no.

Im looking to lower mine too and have been saving for pedders xtreme coils.. I figure if it is gonna already cost me 1200 for new springs and shocks why not spend that extra money and get a fully adjustable option IMO.

I heard a rumour that we can't lower anymore than 35mm (gen III) is that fact or fiction?

Last time i checked Kmac will do a full set for $330 Couriered to your door. Any height you want. I can't see why you would want to ruin your stock springs for the same price as custom made ones. This way you can keep the stock springs in the shed so you can easily go back to stock before you sell the car. Standard cars are generally worth more than modified ones when it comes to resell time.
