Thank you this was very helpful

Welcome Firstly, why do you want to lower your car? Is it mostly for looks or is it mostly for better handling? There are different stages for suspension you need to consider. Stage1 - Springs alone about $350 installed(Better looks, slightly improved cornering too. Stage2 - Springs + Shockers, about $1200, much improved cornering. Stage3 - Coilovers - Track Whore anywhere between $1300 and $3600 depending how cheap you want to be, not necessary for street, but suitable for track work. On top of either these you can install better sway bars and strut tower braces/bars. Personally I think do suspension first. Most people are happy with just springs alone and you can get this done at many suspension places, you can Try Suspension City in North Melbourne or Protech/Bridgestone tyre centre in Oakleigh on Ferntree Gully road. Thank you for this info - sorry to bump this but I wanted to add a question. I have just made a purchase of an '03 Corolla Stivo - I want to lower it and probably put 18's on it. 18's purely for bling factor but the car will also be doing some stuff on the track. Can anyone suggest somewhere where I can look for the style of 18's I want. I don't have a lot of time in "normal" business hours so a site with images would be the best. Thanks in advance.
