Welcome !!!!

Car looks nice, a few little mods like you mentioned will make alot of difference. Is your Superstrut or McPherson?

You are probably the most local Levin to myself, I have a PFL BZG is white just like yours.

Mines is the mcpherson strut. Need some help in the way of lowering springs. Coilovers are a bit over my budget. If anyone knows where i can get reasonably priced springs for my Mcpherson strut suspension.
Some people say the uk E11 corolla suspension fits. I would prefer to get it right first time.
So How low can i go on standard shocks?
Also has anyone lowered there car with springs alone?
Would love to see pictures :)

Yeah man I used TRD springs on standard shocks for a while. Lowered the car 45mm from factory. Wouldn't recommend doing it on factory shocks though as it's a horrible ride. Best to invest in some good shocks. KYB's are reasonably cheap and give a bloody good ride.

I am just about to buy myself a set of coilovers so have some lowering kit available. X2 Kayaba front shocks with Fensport Springs and X2 TRD Shocks with TRD springs. They lower the car around 35mm, ready to bolt on with top mounts and in good condition, ready to go. Will be after £250 if you are interested?
