I prefer not to go the "lowrider" route, as larger rims and a good low-profile tyre will give the car an appearance of being lower than it is. Bottoming out over kerbs is very not cool. At the moment I've only done the rear suspension (shocks, springs, swaybar, bushes) and the difference is quite noticable- the rear end "hugs" the road better, fishtails are easily pulled out of, even turn in has been remarkably improved. I have the intention of applying the front suspension this week or the week after, and I'll keep you posted. The brilliant thing is, that if you are prepared to skin knuckles and get your hands dirty, you can fit suspension yourself. My cousin and I, with no expertise whatsoever, basically ordered the kit from Whiteline, got it about 3 weeks later, jacked the car up and started pulling stuff out and replacing it. I've done about 2000KMs and nothings gone wrong so it's looking good. Tighten all the bolts after 100-200 kms like they tell you to and the gear works fine. Just give it a wheel alignment after you do the front. Thats what the people in the know told me, anyway. I'll let you know how the front suspension goes. [Report message to a moderator]
