    Newbie here and appreciate the replies in advance...

    What are the usual stuff I will have to change to lower a ride? Springs lang ba?

    Checking some suspension kits on the net and the average is around 1000$ (50+K php). :flush:

    What are the costs involved (sana mura), an estimate will definitely do.

    Regards,

    $1000.00 for s suspension means a full coil-over system. Or this could be a springs and shocks combination.

    To lower a car, all you need is a lowering springs. but then again, your strut will need to be replaced sooner or later because OEM ones weren't designed to be compressed (lowering spings) all the time.

    A combo of springs and shocks (gas shocks) can run between $600-$800 depending on the brand. If your budget is tight as this time, I suppose you can opt for a lowering springs first and then upgrade the shocks down the line.
