Hello, I'm not too great with cars and I was hoping to lower my 200b from its stock height, these are what I found on ebay and I just wanted to ask and check if they were suitable for my car. Do you think these are worth it? Also, will I need to pay for anything other then the labour to get them fitted? No idea how lowering a car is done, but I'm all ears!

I do want it low, but I will be putting on a front lip after I get a new bumper, so i don't want it to scrape or anything. Anyone got any tips?

Thanks!!

What condition is the suspension in your car in at the moment? You'll most likely find, if the suspension is a bit flogged, that the car will hardly sit any lower just with those. It depends on what you want but if you want it to sit a bit lower, then you might need to get some Superlows. It would be worth replacing the shocks at the same time.

The suspension at the moment is a set of new springs I got a while ago when i paid for a bunch of work done, I couldn't say if it is flogged or not.
I guess I just wanted my car really low, but not so much that I wont be able to get my front lip on.. but for all I know it will have heaps of room to clear..
Should I contact king springs for super low's or could you point me in the right direction to purchase those?
Also, are there specific shocks that work well or should I get generic ones, whatever I can find? (thought about the shocks but wasn't sure)
Sorry for rambling and the stupid questions haha.

Thanks.
