    Welcome mate! There's a few lowering options. Are you just after springs or coils?

    Spring options to look at are H&R or Eibach pro kit(preferred) or even better to go with coils. ST, KW etc. Theres a few threads on the forum.

    Well, it's finally started
    Installed SPM downpipe today. Got it off Dubaddiction. Jeez Tim is a nice guy, with plenty of great advice.
    First thing I noticed was throttle response, and a slight increase in low down torque. It's not noisy or boomy at all!
    Next up, Next tuesday to be exact, drive down to see Mark at Recode, hehee, can't wait!!!! Man that guy really knows his stuff.
    And finally I have some driver gear springs on order. Still thinking about a engine torque mount, and maybe the WALK kit.
    Will post with pics and thoughts when the tune gets done.

    Well the tune is complete (for now.......). And all I can say is wWow. It Really has breathed new new life into her.
    It just pulls so hard now! 2nd and 3rd gear just just gets going. I can't believe the difference. Parso is a magician!
    We took her for a bit of spin and I really didn't know what to expect, so we get to a bit a hill and I'm just cruising, and Mark casually says " whack it into 2nd and give it a bit" so I do what I'm told, and it immediately responds, wheel spins and shoots up the hill like its not there. He turns and says "maybe 3rd.
    All in all just want to say big thanks. Really happy!!
    Next up maybe a cold air intake....

    Hey Tony,

    Did Parso run yours on the dyno with the tune?
    to replicate the effect you'd have to push the pedal extremely fast to at least 50% throttle, and then fast, but not quite as fast as before to say 70-75%, and then a bit slower to say 85% - all in the time it takes me to push my pedal down 20-25% max

    You can't go wrong with Recode,

    Have you made your mind about the intake?

    Can I ask where you sourced your DG springs from?
