Its hard to make these cars stand out from the crowd.. they just seem to blend in with every other BA/BF out there on the road (unlike modified older cars)I am however after opinions from people, to see if its worth doing (ie. if the car will become too floaty and stuff like that) so that I can make an educated decision on persuing the idea or just installing low springs.

Guest Guests Posted 23/07/07 05:00 AM Share Posted 23/07/07 05:00 AM Yeah it looks mint but it drives like When the bags are dropped, the ride is so harsh it gives you a headache but when they're pumped up it feels like your on the water... swaying from left to right If you're willing to put up with a crappy drive then I'd say get them but if you want to keep drivability, I'd say get coilovers.As for pricing, my mate payed nearly $6k from memory but that was from pedders who are renowned for being overpriced. Tech9tyres in Spearwood do them front and rear with all switches and the compressor/tank etc for under $5k fitted, which is by far the best price I've seen for a fitted kit. Just go in and tell them Shane with the blue VZ SS sent you and they'll look after you. They can show you their kit fitted to a VY sedan as well so you can get a better idea on how it looks/works.Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
