Welcome! What type f astina do you have - it helps us to answer q's

WEll, if you're only talking about lowering it with springs and keeping your standard shocks, then no, you wont have to change anything else.

BUT the ride wont be as good as if you got sports shock absorbers at the same time. It'll just be bouncier!

Yes Squishy, but how much $$ did you have to put into it?

too much for the rest of us I bet......

I am struggling with the fact that a new mp3 player fitted and my new 'zorst' will cost close to $1000......

and I wouldn't be spending that if it wasn't for Grandma!!!

Love your Grandma's fella's (and girls) whether they send you money or not, coz they are Grandma's and they gotta be loved lots!!!!

rhetorical question there dan...

It will depend on how good the shocks are when you buy it. Springs will set you back around $350 tops. Shocks are between $100-200+ a corner depending on brand.

Im about to dump my car very soon (its a 94 w/ 150K on the clock) so ill let you know how the ride is after that. Every car is different though, some wear more then others.
