If Achilles are good bang for buck then I think I'll give them a shot. Really not very expensive so if they don't work out I'll save for something more worth while, if they do, I've saved a fair few dorras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me too much and scraped on everything although I did like its ride height. Also busted the trans sump which ended up costing me a grand to fix with "genuine ZF oil" (didn't get a choice they just used that) and an aftermarket steel pan+labour lol.Probably go SSL's all around if that's viable, or if need be the SSSL/SSL combo. Depends if I need to upgrade other parts too, cos if it's too much I prob wont even lower it. (saving for other stuff atm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like your car to handle even remotely half decent then I suggest you change the shocks too. I just put Monroe gas in mine. Was about $700 for springs and shocks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 1m 5d Posted 03/07/12 08:57 AM Share Posted 03/07/12 08:57 AM If your worried about going to wide a tyre but want grip maybe stick to a 245/35r19 Nitto Invo (probably get better grip than an achilles 255 or 265). But don't hold me to it, that's just what I read on here. And as for the Nitto's you can get a pretty good deal through Taleb because they're a sponsor. As for the achilles go through these guys, great price and really quick postage!! http://www.thewheeldeal.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=279_274&products_id=2413 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
