Not to be a dick but, why bother? It seems asinine to run a fully adjustable suspension setup yet keep it at essentially stock levels. I would have thought a set of high quality shocks/struts with matched springs would have yielded equal handling characteristics at a much cheaper price + plus it's non adjustable so you would be fine free.

but whatith thee fucketh I knoweth

just cuz its at stock height don't mean that its not beneficial. Australia is fucking terrible for modified cars. keeping a car looking stock as possible is the key to not getting pulled over every ten mins.

I get that ride height isn't the only benefit, I was just pointing out a set of K&W v1's or custom valved bilsteins+swifts would yield similar if not superior improvements yet cost a lot less because your not paying for height adjustability. Not that it matters, dude has a bad ass car and his coils/arms are worth more then most zilvia members cars.
