hey all, im in the market for lowering my car althogh im stuck on what i should buy i dont know whether to but jst shocks and springs or coil overs. .im not after high performance but i am after good price.. ideas would be much appriciated. .

cheers

HSD Type-HS

$1299.

Can't beat the value!

Be warned if u lower ur car too much with lower spring it will wear ur shocks out sooo much quicker. Therefor a better buy to get a coilover setup instead of just lowering with springs.
I learnt the hard way. And boy have i learnt.

So true evlgurl.

If your after an economical solution fit the Whiteline 20-30mm lower springs. The super lows drop things about 50mm and will give you a shite ride and wear out your shockies faster. Btw optimum ride height from underside of guard to center of rim is 320mm on a GC. Its pretty high but that can be lowered a bit if you add in a roll center adj kit.

Coil overs depend on how deep your pockets are?

Reality check...

1) Can you afford it?
2) Will they add anything to the resale, NO? re read Q1
3) Do you need it, NO? re read Q1
4) Could you use the money to take your lady (or some one elses ) on a dirty week/end to Bali or Broome, YES....
5) If you think a cheap set of coilovers is better than Q4 then you could be gay and should read that as "take your partner"...
6) If you can afford a decent set of coilovers do both options

Hi mate,

If your looking for coilovers I'v got a set of GC8 BC Coilovers FS.
I bought them from Troy at Pro-Speed Racing and have been very happy with them. Selling them for $950 (new price ~$1600) as I put standard suspension back in after moving to the country.

Let me know if your interested.

Cheers
