I'd say kings as well, probably just lows, not super lows. If you sweet talk some of the sydney members they would help you install them, rather than paying someone to do it. I picked up a whole set of new king springs for $220, so they are not too expensive.

I am putting super low, but how big are your rims, 17" you will have to roll your grades cos i had to when i got 17" and my car isnt lowed yet. and also dont cut the suspension cos that doesnt work, i tried it.

you should NEVER cut springs not only is it illegal but very dangerous aswell especially when you can new lowered ones for $220. im going to put a set of coilovers in mine

more for performance than looks and they are fully adjustible

Get your guards rolled proffesionaly.
You could do it yourself with by rolling a piece of 2" pipe between the guard and the tyre but it's risky, don't do it.
