Honestly, if youre going to go to that trouble you're FAR better off just getting Kings Superlows - we sell them for $150 a pair, so $300 gets you a full set of brand new springs ready to go.

I work for Autobarn mate and the prices would be the same Australia Wide. We keep them in stock at our store all the time, and all the Vic stores can get them if they dont already have them in a few days generally.

Go some shocks in the front with lowered spring seats - Pedders ones are 30mm lower IIRC.

Then for the rears, either chuck in some SSL (super, super low aka ultra lows) or just cut your current supers.
