You can pay any suspension workshop to just torch your springs so the car sags, will cost you maybe 20bux or something. Not a good idea though.

Proper lowering springs will cost you about 200bux (i think that's how much atreyu paid recently). Any suspension place (pedders etc.) can do this for you.

Yeah I rate the Kings. Apex are good too (what I've got) and Pedders also do a good spring. Average lowering spring will bring the front down 2 inches & the rear 1.5 inches. Some more than others. As mentioned $200 is a good price to purchase a set. $100 labour ought get them in for you.

I'd also recommend a wheel alignment after your done too :wink:

around $200 to get the springs, I fitted KingSprings to my mates 89 Honda prelude, I think they were about $89 a spring, they really stiffen up your ride.

I might stick KingSprings on my FTO when I save some money, I will do a DIY.
