    Are those QLD plates? How's the car gone on the big drive? Used much oil?

    • Yep, started in Brisbane. All up around 7.5k km of driving. By the time it got to Hobart it had done 4k+, just to be safe I took it to the local dealer for a free top up. They only had to put in 800 ml.

            I'm happy enough with the stock sports dampers, doesn't seem to have had any great effect on rebound control etc. but you might want to talk to a suspension specialist about it. I will eventually move to coil-overs after I've done my higher priority mods so I'm done throwing money at the suspension for now.

              Considering its not over 2' of lowering, wouldn't the springs stand alone be the safest option?

              25/40mm seems safe without having to go all crazy with coilovers, shocks, suspension.

                You're right, you don't have to go all crazy with coilovers etc, but I probably will at some point Each to their own, if all you are after is a sensibly lowered look and moderately firmer handling then in my direct experience these particular springs with the stock sports pack shocks should do you nicely. But, as I was alluding to earlier, I'm no suspension expert!

                  • Been informed by Bilstein, Pedders that Coilovers are the best/safest way to go as the spring is not matched to the shock thus creating some trouble down the path.
