is anyone aware of someone in NSW (Syd) {West} that would do this??
for only $75 bucks, that would definately suit a bunch of the younger (read BROKE) drivers here!


Has anyone on here done it?

Jesus that's a farkin lot of work I'm surprised they don't just make new ones, basically the only step you a missing from factory in that is material cost and the coiling which would take half an hour.

Anyway I'd be hesitant to do this with cold coiled springs (IE ones from eibach) Good spring steel would end up trashed... it's alright for hot coiled stuff like from kings but not other stuff.

I reckon if you compressed most car springs solid you could get it to drop an inch anyway which is way easier than what they are doing.
