1.5" aye. . . Looks nice. . . I was thinking about dropping mine 2"-2.5" You remember how much that set you back bud? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ahhh sorry if i worded it wrong.... the car is actually 3 --> 3.5" lower then factory.... taking into account that a factory ss is 1.5" lowered already according to pedders.. the whole fe2 standard thing if you get me.... just to give you an idea heheh so really 4 --> 4.5"'s then an exec etc.. vr/vs but i know pedders when they checked out my car said i had close to a couple of grand worth of suspension under my car... if u were just going springs and shocks, maybe struts i'd say you'd look at $1k without install at least., rough guess though.. hope it makes sense this time heheh :mrgreen:

Yep yep I getcha now. . I only quickly browsed through your original post mate. . . sorry my bad. Yeah so it's on the costly side hey. . .

yeh depends how far you wanna go... like you could just do 4 springs and cost you under $300 if you can fit them yourself or get it done cheaply... but in my case i've had the springs, shocks, struts, sway bars, bushes etc... all done.. costly but worth it in the end... when i had my vl i only did springs and shocks.. brought springs new and shocks 2nd hand.. came out under $500 coz i installed it with a mate... so yeh it can be cheap or it can cost a bit.. depends how you do it... :P Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah. . A mate of mine gave me a price of around $400 just for new springs. . said my shocks were fine and didnt need replacing. . I'm working on a bit of a budget so i have to stay with the bare minimum aye.. haha

The guy that did mine said you'll need stronger shocks, he said without them you only get that look and not the handling.. Not sure tho?

Yeah I guess it depend's on how low you go. .

Yeah it also depends on if you have an IRS Ass in it. If you go any lower than about 1.5" you will have problems with the fronts. Pedders mentioned it handling like a boat if you go too low and don't change the front struts. If its not an IRS rear you should really put short travel shocks in there, and up front you'll need shortened struts for any lower than 1.5"

which mine has :P

Umm, are PODs illegal? or in some states?

I think they are legal in most states arnt they? ?

Good News The cab driver admitted fault, and my car is in the workshop now having new panels fitted and paint and so on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

that's good new's then.was he trying to deny fault?

Yeah he was saying he was stopped in the driveway and i hit him, he wasn't telling them he turned across my path and broke the law by failing to give way. Oh well it'll be done in a week and a half and i'll have it back on the road. Doesn anyone know what PPG Paint is like?

Not sure, after I checked I think they're illegal, you're not spose to modify the air flow or anything, but a cold air intake is a factory item, so it's allowed.. Dunno!

ppg is very good paint from what i've heard.

i'm not sure if pods are illegal in qld? i did have one on my car... it got a road worthey with it on there too?? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

YAY. Got new exhaust. . Just got a lukey system. . the bloke wanted to charge me $300 to fit my extractors so a mate of mine and I are going to have a go at it.. Any tips? ?

Yeah get a good torque wrench, and easy does it...

Cops pulled me over for the regular friday check of my car, they didnt say **** all about the pod ANyways, running the cold air intake into the K&N filter.. Could you run a custom pipe like that one you did my88vl and just have it blowing cold air into the pod? Dunno if it'd make much difference? Gotta be better than the hotter air in the engine bay, just trying to do thing the most effectively ops: Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
