HELP! info required for lowering 120y

What would you like to know. Reset leaves, lowering blocks, brand new lowered coils, reset coils, cut coils. What are you plans. Tell us that so we can help you out.

Do you want to lower it in the front only, or both ends, & by how much?
What are your mechanical skills, & which workshop manual do you have,... factory, Gregories, or "other"?

This is my first car and im unsure of where to start but i know that id like to lower it in the near future.
As for mechanical experience i don't have a great deal but given some kind of guidence i could handle it, plus experienced mates and uncles are always close by to lend a hand.
I only resently aquired the car from a little old lady who had kept it in mint condition, she didn't have the service manual and so i've been looking around for 1.
I wanted to lower the front and rear, i remember seeing some1 use blocks for the rear and i've read some stuff about cutting the coils but im still unsure of wat to do.
I have plans to slowly fix it up but want to keep the a12 engine as she runs like new.
Any ideas would be much appriciated, do u know how much it should cost to replace an idler arm for the front left.

thanks for your much appreciated responses

OK, i will answer your PM here. There are a few basic steps to work through when doing this kind of job.

1. First & foremost.
Get a workshop manual. A Gregories is probably best as they focus on the practical aspects of how to actually do the job. The fact that you can usually pick one up on ebay for prices between $5 & $20 is a bonus.

2. Think,... think a lot. What is it that you actually want. Look at other peoples cars & see what they got wrong,.. & right. Learn from the mistakes of others, it's cheaper that way.
I would suggest that you bring the front down by a small amount, leaving room for some nice wheels & tyres without the drama of tyre to guard clearance problems. THINK.

3. Check with Repco, or anyone else that handles King springs. King offer a range of lowered springs for a wide range of cars. I just fitted a set to my 1200 coupe. Get prices & include the price of some new shock absorber inserts as this is an ideal time to fit them, & remember that you will need to borrow or buy some coil spring compressors.

4. Check with Repco & others for idler arm options, but also check the condition of the ball joints & steering joints as well. Now is the time to replace any suspect components.

5. Put it all back together with some sensible mag wheels & tyres & enjoy. Once you have gone this far, you can decide if it's any advantage to lower the rear as well, which can be a job for another day.

If you replace the front shocks, then have a think about the rear ones as well. A good set of shocks can TRANSFORM the ride & handling of a car. All of the above should be a reasonably affordable upgrade as a first move. Try it, you'll like it.
