My current setup is as follows:
17inch wheels all round.
Front Setup:
Drop spindle stub axles in the front.
Standard Springs and shocks.
Rear Setup:
9 inch diff
Lowered King springs
Standard Shocks
I am currently not happy how the car sits, it needs to drop at least another inch and a half in the rear. The front sits fine.
Does anybody know where I can get the rear springs reset? I�m located in the SE suburbs of Melbourne.
Can anyone also recommend a good pair of rear shocks. I�m planning on getting some 15 inch rims, slicks and softer spings for racing.
I was thinking either pedders sports riders or koni reds. I�m probably leaning towards the koni�s as they can be adjusted from soft to stiff.
Where would be the best place to buy them?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers, mark.
After some suspension advice

I spoke to king springs apparently the springs I have are as low as they can legally go. They can reset them for $70 to go lower but they will no longer be captive or legal.
I was under the impression that they could make me a custom set at a lower height and still be captive and legal. I guess I thought wrong.
All they do to reset them in put them in a vice and heat them up.
I might just reset my old springs myself with a vice and an oxy to get the car lower. If i get picked on by the cops I can just chuck the legal springs back in.

Yeah mate, you just have to run some shorter shocks to keep the springs captive.... U can try LJ Shocks or VB Commodore Wagon Shocks.. They bolt up the same as the torana ones, but are shorter!

I will put in a good word for Brown's Springworks too, they did mine and i am happy with them.
Just tell them where you want it to sit and they put it there, as low as you want
