Hey Naroka-welcome aboard.

I believe Lexman is from Melbourne....

Stay in touch though-lots happening over this side of the Tasman and hoping for the word to spread through Australia quickly.

The leather seats u're referring to was ordered from my dealer, I suspect they took it somewhere else to get it custom made...

Hey SSML, TRD328, Naroka, Aristo Kat u aussies and us Kiwis...lol

anyway, I know Kings Springs is cheap and is not bad on quality, but i just don't trust them, if they are so good, why dosent anyone else use it, get out of the civic habit and get something else...Try get some L-Tuned from US for $260 + Shipping or L-Sportline for $200 + Shipping (PM me about L-sportline), they are made by eibach, eibach is known that it is a good springs and all good springs are made by them , brabus and carlsson etc, so get something else other than kings, i just dont like them, just my 02 cents, no flames.....

The thing is, the Eibachs are only a 1" drop. Using a ruler, i found it would take at least 2" to get the rear guard anywhere near the tyre!

[TRD328]

im using tein stech and they are ok.

around 300mm drop

[naroka]

My 1.3" drop was free from the dealer, they add it coz i got the body kit from them or something heh..

I went to the lexus brighton as well, my dealer is called 'collin' and the accessories was provided by didas... if i'm u, don't buy accessories off this lexus dealer, they rip u off.. If u r looking for other accessories, let me know, i know a good place.
