				4wd speck for the lose... Drop it down mate. If you do it right (ie not chopping springs) it will improve your car handles as well as looking good.

				its pretty easy, Here's the 3 step process for a fully hektik dumpt falcon:
1) Pull out the spring
2) Angle grind 1 coil off
3) Throw the majority away and put the 1 coil back in..

				1. put blocks under the front tires
2. jack up the diff
3. put stands under left and right sills and then let the jack down slowly
4. undo the bottom shock bolt
5. then push the shock up, and take the spring out
6. put your new springs OR grind some coils off
7. repeat process backwards
note: if you cant angle the spring out because the shock is in the way, you will have to jump inside the car and put your back seats down and take the plastic covers off the sides and under the top shock bolt, so you have way more room to take the spring out
i think thats all right, the fronts are a lil different though...

Just wondering, How much would it cost to change it to a 5sp manual
