Hiya,
Got mine lowered on 17" rims - 205/40 tyres.
Just over 2" at the front and just over 1.5" at the back - so the car sits just over the tyres.

$420 (for front and back) with King Springs. Got it done by Malaga Springs and Suspensions
Another shop highly recommended is Wilkinson Suspension Centre in Bayswater.
If you're a guy off the street, the average price you'll get quoted (from any shop) is around the $450 mark. Just phone around and then call up Malaga S&S or Wilkinson and tell them "$xxx.xx is the cheapest price I got, can you better it?"

EVO_CLONE,


Do you know the model number of the Kings Springs you have.

I bought a set but have not installed them yet. They tell me that they are 2-inch lowered back and front but I noticed that yours are 2-inch front and 1.5 inch back.

Is that the way they come ??

Do you get any scrubbing or rubbing on the bodywork ??

If mine is 2-inch back and front, do you think that my 17's will fit ??

I don't know what the model number is. When I got it done I just specified exactly how I wanted my car to sit and the shop purchased the suitable springs.

In your case, I’m not so sure if the rear would rub. Mine just sits over the arches. Any lower, the tyres would sit behind, meaning rolling out may be required.

If you’re installing it yourself, then the best way to find out is trial & error. If you get a shop to install it, tell them how you want it to sit and they’ll let you know if it’s possible.

Also depending on your tyre size. Mine are 205/40/r17.

Good luck.
