|
g'day,
When i bought my TC Gemini, the previous owner lowered the front with all with proper pedders springs and shocks, although he did the rears in the dodgy way and chopped them. I want to fix this and lower the rears the proper way.
I want to keep the level of the car at around the same height the rear was with the chopped springs.
Here is a pic of my car as it is now with chopped rears adnd pedders fronts and 14" wheels on it -

I have been looking at King Springs Superlows - 2" lower and KYB shocks and also at pedders springs and shocks and people have also told me Monroe shocks are quite good.
Is there any brands that you guys can recommend, do you think King Springs will leave the car at the same level it is now? How low in the spring department do you think i'll have to go to keep that same height? I used the search funtiion but there were many conflicting oponions on lowering.
Thanks for any help you can give me and sorry about the long post, Cheers Ben |

it looks like 2.5 inch. if you go to pedders im quite shore they will tell you want height you need by looking at the front springs. |
