You can pay any suspension workshop to just torch your springs so the car sags, will cost you maybe 20bux or something. Not a good idea though.

Proper lowering springs will cost you about 200bux (i think that's how much atreyu paid recently). Any suspension place (pedders etc.) can do this for you.

Can get King Springs off Ebay (in Aust)

Yeah I rate the Kings. Apex are good too (what I've got) and Pedders also do a good spring. Average lowering spring will bring the front down 2 inches & the rear 1.5 inches. Some more than others. As mentioned $200 is a good price to purchase a set. $100 labour ought get them in for you.

I'd also recommend a wheel alignment after your done too

around $200 to get the springs, I fitted KingSprings to my mates 89 Honda prelude, I think they were about $89 a spring, they really stiffen up your ride.

I might stick KingSprings on my FTO when I save some money, I will do a DIY.
