Simon, how much you willing to spend on getting it lowered?

1. easy way and cheap.... springs only approx. $400

2. more expensive but you will get what you pay for... coilovers approx. $1900

IMO... go the coilovers :)

With springs you are locked into whatever height the factory sets it as. With coil overs you can adjust the ride height and stiffness to your liking. 8)

If you are interested, I have some springs that I am about to sell.

They're Pedders, I am thinking of getting coilovers.

Let me know.

I think they lower the car something like 30 - 35mm. Dang, can't remember now. But the fender gap is 2 fingers front, 1 finger rear. They will definitely make the car more aggressive looking.

Eka (lib33rty) is selling those 19" chrome wheels as well! I think I heard her mention if you buy both she'll install everything for you free of charge. :happy:

James you can probably pick up a set of Tein or sti springs for not much more of that cost. Just not as low. I would say the jap brand would perform better though.

Depends what you are after.

Hey mate don't go kings I have them on my car...


I'd go teins or kmacs if ur not looking at coilovers

The kings are perfect at the rear but IMO sit too high at the front.
