getting car lowered.

[travsgtv]

Just got a questions or few on the lowering of my car.

Were is the best place to get my Verada lowered?

Whats a good price to pay?

Can someone do it if i Supply the parts?

Does anyone have parts for sale?

[westside_t_s_d.]

im suprised you havent got 1001 answers yet lol speak to mal as he has the place already set up for working on cars and has plenty of knowledge and contacts for cheaper prices.

[Lugo]

Phillcom for parts, easily the cheapest I've found with outstanding service to boot. Once you've got the gear (which only takes a few days through Shawn), take it down to a reputable suspension joint to have fitted, that way you can be certain its 100% and covered completely by warranty.

[NORBY]

personally i would buy it from phillcom as suggested. then take it to mal. Cheapest by far.

Places NOT to take it to

Pedders
Quadrant Suspension in Berwick



Remember with fitting the new suspension you need to have a wheel alignment too so add that cost in ;)

[travsgtv]

phillcom is an amc sponsor :P


And thats just my opinion on pedders. Their products arent up to scratch for what you pay, and i have found that they didnt do a very good job installing stuff in the past.

but this was in lilydale, other ones might be better

[travsgtv]

[NORBY]

gonna do shocks and springs or just springs?

[travsgtv]

Just Spring dude

[Boozer]

another good place other than Mal's is http://www.centrelinesuspension.com.au/ i had mine fitted with them and had a few other stuff done as well, they can be a bit steep but they take alot of pride in their work, not saying that Mal doesn't tho, just making it clear.

[travsgtv]

i found these if i got these would they be any good?

those are the King Lows, Trav, remember seeing my car on the GOR cruise? thats how the ride height will look.

[travsgtv]

what would be best for the GTV. fronts and rear?

[Boozer]

the King lows are as low as you'd wanna go without toooo much risk of scrap and hitting bumpstops

[Madmagna]

Mate,
If you want them done properly let me know, i can look after for you

I also do provide warrenty on all of my work

Yeah, gotta agree with this. Centreline are pretty pedantic about their work - can be pricey, but at least you're getting a good job done.

It's either Mal or these guys.

[Lugo]

also Whats a good priice to pay?
When I've bought springs they've always been $220 front and rear through Phillcom, but that said thats always been buying shocks too, so I'm not sure if it'll vary a little if thats all your going for. Superlows front and lows rear are the popular choice, lows handle better (apparently), but will leave the front still looking a little high.

Best bet is to look around for some photos of a TE-TJ with the suspension configurations your considering, I wouldn't look at a TL for comparison as the front guards are slightly different and won't give you an accurate idea of the gaps when fitted.

[travsgtv]

thanks for the replys guys. have some pretty good info on the things i need. also have PM Mal to see what he can do for me.

<-------------------

[travsgtv]

just trying to figure it all out now. I am trying to get something close to home, or work. dandenong Pedders are at $550 including a wheel alignment.
does anyone no how low it will be?

[Madmagna]

forget pedders bud cheap is cheap cause it is crap

[travsgtv]

oh really? there goes that idea. they were just easy to get to.

[Boozer]

TBH, i didn't have a good run with Pedders either but mine was dealing with Pedders Footscray... and only after going to another suspension specialist that I am told they too received alot of complains re: Pedders Footscray so in short, I'm staying away from them.

[travsgtv]

pedders is out then. havent heard anything good about them so far.

[adamclugh]

hey trav i got my kings springs supplied and fitted at a place in dandenong called stutfit they fitted king lows at back and king super lows in the front cost about $400

[FamilyWagon]

Don't touch pedders. Just ask Mal how many sets of pedders he has pulled out of my cars and installed Kings.

[zeke]

Just remembered I had pics of my car next to yours from the Arthurs Seat cruise last year. Btw I've got King Superlows and my rims are 18's. As you can see it's nothing too drastic and quite a practical height. Honestly unless you have to access any stupidly steep driveways regularly you shouldn't have any problems at all.
