lowering options ?


Recommended Posts

I own a 2009 update Aurion atx .

I've upgraded my rims n tyres to 20" spyders with 245/35 series rubber.

I'm looking to lower my car and I'd like to hear from people who have a similar combination or any recommendations.

Thanks for any suggestions :D

Pedders seem to do an ok job, and i think you can get the adjustble ones as well which give you some fine adjustment to get your ride hights just right.

Got quoted $690 supplied and fitted and aligned for pedderrs lowered springs, will be getting it done soon. Wishing I could stretch the budget to get coilovers but its not possible at the moment.

Nice choice if you dont mind me asking what did they quote you? Also I think VF-X has a set of clear hybrid tail lights he is trying to sell maybe save a bit of cash there.

it will be around 2 all up...the hybrid taillights have a "tad" of colour in em I think (*******!)if I'm wrong,I prefer the clearest ones

ALL DONE! It's fantastic...all credit to Mark n the boys at Pedders Osborne park for fitting extreme xa coilovers and camber kits.

The ride is firm but it drives real well and the service was great on a sat morn. I also got an invite back in a couple of weeks for a checkup.

Couldn't be happier and I'm now looking forward to washing the car n taking a couple of update snaps cheers :yahoo:

Looks awesome mate wish I could stretch things and get the coilovers :D Will have to just settle for the lowered springs which I will have fitted in a few weeks and hope my lotto numbers come up soon.

Please don't use Kings! We trialed the top of the range racing Kings for our 2 Lamborghini @ supalocracing as well as the Porsche and Evo, they sagged within weeks, Peddlers and Kings in my opinion are for Commodores the VN type, if you know what I mean lol!

There a cheap work around, and not quality , you will probably have sag issues, and in a FWD hopefuly it doesnt sag on the left as it will pull to the left more!

Go for Quality like Tein, I love my Tein suspension in the Aurion, I also have piece of mind that they are superior quality for a little bit more $$

I believed they where specially engineered by a separate team at Kings. Not the normal King line of springs division And they costed heaps! to bad they couldnt handle Targa. This is what I was told by the Engineer there anyway. There driver wouldn't buy crap.

Anyway Supaloc Racing have engineered there own suspension 20K a pop, too rich for me.

Congrats on the mod, there great i love mine too, just out of interest what setting to you run for every day driving and for when you’re having a crack? Also do you know if they left the spring position alone or did they wind them up or down a bit?

thanks Mat. After playing around abit i prefer 8 clicks from full hard,have noticed a firm ride but real solid plant to the road so that is what i prefer.

I don't know if the spring posi was played with but when i took her back for the final check the boys made a 5mm adjustment up on the front drivers side wheel.

After the original fitting i was left with a fistful of nuts n bolts lol

now i drive away from big holes n ******* on the roadways as much as possible ( white liner now ;p) seems the faster i go over irregularities the smoother it seems.

anyways catch up soon Cam
