I have Torana super lows (with a coil removed) in the front of mine and they are very good. Maybe a little too firm, but you could just get some standard Torana ones if you wanted to be a pansy. Only around the $100 mark at trade, so not super expensive.

Should find commodores from VB/VC through to VP live rear axle (non irs) rear springs should fit also...

I had some 240z springs in my Gemini when I first had it (how it is in the pic that Tom posted up from ages ago) and it was stiff and low as Barry White. Was awesome.

Thought about importing some?
you should be able to do shart, stiff springs and short SPAX adjustables for under $800.

King do customs for about 350/400 a pair, you just need to tell them sizes and poundage. They are an 86mm ID and you can get what ever length you like, mine are 200mm. poundage would depend on how hard you like/mind it. Craig has got 700s in his and tony drives his on the road and they are 800s, mine is track only! and 900s make her sit like a go kart  Because of where the spring sits on the arm the rate is pretty much halved at the wheel. |

Hahah, how come you guys don't just get Snells here to make them up? Would be a much faster turnaround.
