Think ill just get some ajps springs for the rear and adjust the front to suit. Just got to work out what length and rate for the rears, i read in your thread that yours still squated with stiff springs. Im thinking either F 8kg/mm and R 6kg/mm or F10kg/mm and R 8kg/mm or 8kg/mm F & R
yeah they are cut falcons thoe, a higher rate would be a whole lot better i would hope haha, im waiting on a reply from ajps for some 6kg/mm myself for the rear so hopefully they go better
How low are you wanting to go and how much money are you wanting to spend?? Drifting? Or just grip/daily?
Not quiet sure how low, but it doesnt have to be stupid low and im more after the stiffness. Did a quick guesstamation of the drop i want and id say about R 80-100mm and F 40-50mm.
After all 3 daily/ grip/ drift
Edit: Cost, cheap as possible without dodgeyness like cutting springs

Put some ke70 kingsprings in the rear that i had laying around, its about as soft as the stock springs. The koni's i had didnt end up fitting the rear either because they were to short so just got some monroe gt gas one in at the moment. But now the stock springs are out i can work out what i want.
Made a new shift boot the other day and my shifter rebuild kit came today so I put it all in
ra65's are cool!
Interior reminds me of a late 70's/todays Elizabeth lounge room

And they have heaps of cool little things too, like the a cover to get to the washer reservoir for the rear window, the cover is actually a funnel for filling it!! And just under the ignition there is rubber padding on the steering column plastics, so your keys dont scratch the plastics!
