No good - they are only allowing a 40mm drop

Maybe people who have lowered there cars can post pics and detail how low and how it was done??? I know this might sort of clash with the topic underneith but sort of trying to get a comparison???

I want to be able ti drive my car and not have to worry to much, and also not have to spend a ridiculous amount of money (budget)!!!

Sorry if this has been asked before or does clash......

Cheers

I got my 2 inch lowering blocks as a kit from a seller on evilbay for around $70 or so plus postage.He sells billet aluminium lowering blocks in all sizes from 1 inch to 4 inches or more depending on what you want.

I don't really have a preference for front lowered springs when it comes to brand names but you could try Brute springs,King springs,Pedders springs,Selby springs etc.Dunno if Selby is still around but I know Pedders and Kings still do springs.There are probably other brand names I've forgot to mention.

Just do a google on some of the above names on google autralia and see what comes up.I'll see if I can find the username of the seller on evilbay that I bought my lowering blocks from if you want.

i might be out of touch but i'm sure you could get that stuff cheaper than the ebay auction is ....

in the past i have gone with lovells HFL-1 which i am told is about 1 inch lower and then a 1 inch lowering block in the rear .... that was low enough for me

How about these, though are those locating pins (I think thats what they are called) to long.....i noticed someone else had this issue.....???

They look alright, not totally sure on the pin length but diameter is good.

Thats the ebay seller that I bought my lowering blocks from for my FB.Easy to fit and working fine for me.

Try Burson's, they had lowered springs for my HZ and price was good too. Pretty sure they can get early Holden stuff as well.

Oh well thats good news........does the length of the pin cause issues if they are to long???

Also this is my new FB Ute and as you can see the wheels are painted black, but was thinking of taking the hub caps off and running the open steel wheels with white wall tyres and the 2 inch drop!!! BUT.......Just not sure what colour i should paint the wheels if i do this, red crossed my mind, but what other colours would look good???

Can't beat good ol' red.
