Im in Melb and there is a place near where i live that does 4 new king springs for $350 fitted. These are Lows and Superlows i asume.
Just call around local workshops, because there is always a better deal out there. |

if your wallet is big then go superlows with new shocks, but if money is tight go with lows as the standard shocks will cope.
reason for new shocks with superlows is it is not a very comfy ride at all!

$240 should get you a full set of springs, front and rear. $120 for each pair.
It really takes mechanics nothing to put em in so you'd want to be getting a wheel alignment/balance if your paying $350. Seems a little steep to me.
