there is a mobile place that rolls guards, they heat up the guard and roll it with a machine. ive heard that it works well. if you want it done 'properly' then you will need to take it to a panel beater. but they you will need to have those panels replaced. the mobile people advertise in car magazines.

as for springs. get them from anywhere, but id advise getting shocks too. but thats just me

I got a prive from Midas for $560 supplied and fitted. They said they only come in one size 1 1/2".
Then I spoke to a local place I know, where I got my last car done.
He said $450 supplied and fitted and they come in lots of sizes 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2.
Probably going for only 1" at the rear and 1 1/2 at the front.
What do you mean by getting the panels replaced??

I dont know of anywhere in Sydney to get the lips rolled, however I know that JMS does it for $50 per corner ($200 all up) so I'm guessing you'd be looking for about the same in Sydney.

Give someone like Tempe Tyres a call, they'll know of someone who will roll wheel guards.... :D

They're number is 9573 1010

Most good wheel and tyre places can roll guards by the process mentioned above (heat gun) then roller machine that attaches to your brake disc. I got mine done at St.George Tyres on Princes Hwy, about $20-50 is what you can expect to pay per corner.

as s15mike said, most wheels places do it
but take some advise
dont do it anywhere, cause a friend of mine did it a this dodgy place, and as he was rolling them, the body on top of the wheel just popped out, looked pretty shit
so go somewhere known , experience counts bro!!!!

if you can afford it, get a name brand that has coilover setups specific to your car. for example, tein make fantastic (IMO) coilovers, actually there are a set forsale in the forsale area. good price, pity i cant afford them or else they would be sold. something like them would be good.

By just doing springs you will wear out your shocks quick smart. Deal with the 4WD stance save and do it properly.

Why not try Whiteline? At least they have evidence they test their products on the track, and know about the car. i read that in Hot 4's or one or two of them magazines.

Im probably looking at lowering mine to, 1 inch or so (as they rekon you go anymore its fucks something up, or the tracking of it, etc etc.).

maybe a group buy?. But Im not keen on Kings, Jumbo, those brands.
I grew up with McPherson's, so them brands dont tickle me.

Why do you need your guards rolled anyway? You should av plenty of clearance. 18's 235 tyre's still no dramas.

Disco - more than an inch and you will throw out the rear geometry of the car and make the handling worse not better.
