    Thats the same as the ones i had on the STR, got them for $280, theyre pretty stiff, but handle well enough, i might have a look if they stay fairly cheap

    You can find them on TradeMe (none at the mo tho) for around $20-40...Hyper tyres also sell them for around $40ish too.
    If it ain't broken, don't fix it!...MOD IT!

    If a few people want them, then i could get them made up, for my last set i got a mate doing design to draw them up on an engineering program, and had them water cut, for two sets it was about $30? Anyone with the software can do it in about 10 minutes. You just have to wait a while (about a week) until they can fit in your small cutting job.

    not alot involved, jack up the car, loosen the locking nut, and wind the upper nut up or down to suit.

    Bottom them out, and work your way up, for certing the lowest structural point is the bottom of the front suspension arm-a-majig, if you get it certed they record the measurements, so you might as well have them as low as possible. But yeah for around town, an inch/inch and a half would look good.
