    btw. 2.5" wow did u find it hard going over speed bumps etc
    Getting over speed bumps are fine, but when ever I hit a pothole its pretty rough..

      while at the same time having the ride quality, the general sharpness in handling of the car plus all the added body roll due to ur lowering springs being so soft and squishey and the comfortability completely taken from you..

      you can get a set from us ebay for like under 1k posted anyway?? or even a 2nd hand set for like 600 - 700..

      At the time i didnt have a lazy 1.5k+ to get coilovers, so I decided to get springs for the time being. But now that i have saved some coin im seriously thinking of going coilovers as i cant get a hold of any of shocks for DC5...

      Triple 9 (brisbane) have qouted me $1850 for K-Sport coilovers fitted.

        Ahh sorry, ur probobly right monty though i dont ever get taxed when purchasing propelers and other bits and pieces for my jet skis n boats..

        Had these on my black R.. not to bad for a daily drive if u ask me, u can choose ur spring rates with this seller aswell so u can grab urself an higher spring rate spring for ur occational track uses..


        Edit: just checked the end of that thread and the guy doesnt sell them for that price no more lol!!
        sorry for being a time waister.. though my intentions were good GL with ur search

        i Have a friend of mine who use to work at lovels and they apparantly distributed a brand called HD or sumthing like that.. was 1100 for a set, ill ask him if there still around..
