Just wondering how people have lowered their utes and did they go somewhere professional like pedders etc. Experiences good/bad. Cost? Anyone got pics?

I'm looking at the stuff on ebay and might try do the install myself. I'm happy with the springs because I've done that and have spring compressors but I've never changed leafs. How hard is it?

Obviously wheel allignment is needed afterwards. Not sure if it's worth doing it myself.

The leaf kit (ute) above is $735 and the sedan is only $289. Big difference! Says it lowers by 30-35mm.

Those part numbers won't lower your car, and they are a bit expensive on the ute side!

Yeah I thought so too.

Found this : http://www.kingsprings.com/catalogue/kings_master_catalogue.pdf

Looks like the link I posted was not for XR6's. Only standard utes.

Where are you from mate? Let me know and also let me know where you want the car to sit and I'll do a price for you including shipping.

Cheers

I'm in melbourne but will be in sydney 21-22nd May for superlap at Eastern Creek racing my skyline.

Not sure how low to go yet. I do a bit of towing so don't want to go silly. I'll do a bit more research. Hopefully someone on here has some pics of their car lowered.

No probs, our workshop is only 20mins from Eastern Creek and I should be there on Saturday, if I don't hear from you before hand I'll try and catch up with you at Super Lap, what R32 are you driving?

Update on my ute.

Went to pedders in Ringwood (Melb) and got the lowest I could go legally.

Here are some pics. Cost 960 with fitting and alignment. Not exactly cheap (leafs are so expensive!) but I'm very happy with it.

nice mate, that's exactly the set up I went with, paid $800 at pedders, not dumped but sits nice...I've done 2000km now and no drama's even with some quite spirited driving.....
