I dont want to go to low because the roads up here are crap & I do drive it daily. has anyone one done this without dropping it on its guts & how has it affected ride & looks. pics would be nice if possible. I like the sleeper look.john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really know much on this side of things all the research & work ive done has been with go fast bits but now im planning to do shows with our club id like it to look the part as well but not over the top. it needs something to help the handling because with big sweeping corners it feels a little uneasy. will also be looking into whiteline swaybars as well. roads are bad up here (really bad) & I do alittle bit of highway driving so I cant go over the top.

I got a quote yesterday & I was told about $700 fitted all round with the kings but it will only drop it around 10mm maybe. was abit gobsmacked so I might wait & do it properly later down the track. got the itch to spend some money on it (only been about 2wks) so I bought some overdue personalised plates. my first pieces of show on the car, its all been go til now. feel guilty.

I bought a set of brand new king springs off ebay for $280 incl. postage. $100 to fit.And as for 10mm lower... what a load of crap!SSL will probably see your T lower by about 50mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
