08-08-06, 17:41 GMT+10#21 hmmmm my repco hook up is being a **** and not replying :-P
What do you think its a good reasonable price for the ultralowskingsprings?
Cause ill just go into the beaurepaires and just say a random price, cause he said for me to go around asking for prices and he will beat them lol.
Then once i get the springs shop around for shocks that will fit, as i can't seem to find any pedders around here :-S, can in auckland tho :-P, but im probaly just not looking hard enough.

Pedders is only in Australia as far as I know. Kings are AUD$125 a pair mate, so if you get them for less than that your laughing!

My setup was built by Edgar in the Koni workshop and they did an awesome job. Im not saying thats what you should do, but they really know their stuff and will point you in the right direction

11-08-06, 23:43 GMT+10#27 Never heard of Cobra sorry mate. Does shortening of the Monroe's make them able to control a higher spring rate? If not dont even bother with them.

Jst a thought...ive heard they also ship their springs....
I have a mate that owns a spring shop. Last set I paid 60 bucks for all 4 set to my specs.
Take into account the size of wheels as well when deciding on height and adjustable panhard is a must!

Dude dont use Monroes, I put a set in my Legnum VR4 and ended up replacing them with Koni coilovers after 3 weeks. Autolign, who are the importers, wouldnt take them back even after aggreeing they were softer than the factory shocks! I wouldnt go near them again even if they were free
Could be an option? Has anyone got this setup? Looks pretty cheap
