looks good mate, did you just change the springs? or shocks as well?
If you change ur shocks, it will handle an extra 100% more than it did;)

i got mine done at pedders though. i figured mine being a ute and a fairly new car i might be a tad difficult and frustrating for me. in the front i think i got ssl's and lowering blocks in the rear. the dropped 3 inches they said.
