Good Job mate. I'm suprised you've got 115mm under the car. Mine is higher than that and I've got 88mm...

Thanks Troy. Mine still handles like a bucket of crap, because the ball joints are stuffed. I have a brand new set ready to go in, but just need to get a day off work so I can get them pressed in (I'm currently 5 days a week as a casual, so any day off means I don't get payed)

looks good mate, did you just change the springs? or shocks as well?
If you change ur shocks, it will handle an extra 100% more than it did;)

Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone!
im very happy with how it turned out and how low it sits now..
is set me back about $500 for the springs and new rear shocks and one new front shock (the old one had crapt itself)

handles heaps better now without all the body roll.

next mod might be some nice dark window tint or some more sterio work to it.

cheers troy
