gen 1 lowering

Post by scotty bmx » Tue Aug 10, 2010 6:54 pm

hey, im looking for some ideas of what a cheap way to lower my 1990 model liberty wagon would be. i have some photos of where it sits now and i would like it at this height, but maybe a little higher. we chopped the springs that are in it now due to i know for sure that im going to put new ones in. one of my mates said i can put wrx shocks and springs in and it will be cheaper. is this true? if so, how much?
any help would be good

well i run 18" wheels so all i want to lower it is the maximum 5cm for nsw law.
iv been looking at a set of lovells springs. are they good or bad?
or is there any other types i can buy because kings dont make them for the rear of my model.
