Lowered IRS will need a camber kit installled (around $500) to correct the camber created by the lowered suspension unless you want to replace tyres that are getting chewed out from the inside... And I would be changing the shocks, particularly in the rear otherwise it will ride like shit

vyss's come with fully adjustable camber kit from factory, http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?i...sc00543tq1.jpg (http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00543tq1.jpg) http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?i...sc00558vc3.jpg (http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00558vc3.jpg) ive only done the back so far, and the car sits level on flat ground, ill show ya: http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?i...sc00553re8.jpg (http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00553re8.jpg) springs are the old (as in end of last year) pedders sports ryder springs, apparently they dont make them anymore because of legalities (maybe someone can confirm this) with selling springs that make your car illegally low. i am putting king springs in the front however because these pedders fronts are wayy to low for my liking. the guy i bought them off said the front guard lip was about an inch above the rim.. ive got massive pacemaker 4-1's hanging underneath and i dont wanna bash the crap out of them on everything i drive over. (sorry for the crappy quality camera fone pics)

Thanks fergo, rear looks good, what front king springs are you going to use? Would the pedders be equivilent to king springs low you think? I dont want to go to low as I will be replacing the front bar every other week when she uses it as a grader.
