what sort of springs do you guys have? I am thinking of lowering my car? but i really dont want to spend too much money. some place quoted me $450 with kings springs. I am not sure what size springs we need to have? thanks

about shocks, would you guys know other brands that would fit FTOs apart from the japanese brands? i'm not sure if there is an inexpensive alternative that would fit, especially the fronts... some1 told me the rear is similar to the lancer so it's easy to source out, but the front ones arent...
any help would be appreciated.

Whiteline quoted me $385 each for the front shocks, they are actually Koni reds.

$214 each for the rear shocks

add springs, labour, wheel alignment, and you'll probably spend around $1700 all up.

i have HKS springs, they're so good. also i have asked around and KMAC sports springs, they're not so expensive. around 400, they'll also do any amount lower.

I have Bilstein adjustable coil-overs and bestex shocks all around. If you have the money (quite a lot of it) i deffinetely reccomend it.

The best thing about adjustables is that you can get a yellow sticker for being too low, than just jack it up again.
