Anybody got any springs they're trying to move (or a recommendation on not so crazy lowering)? I've got a set of lovells that are too low, and a set of rev1 stockies are too high for my liking. 93+ OEM or Eibach's would be the ideal. 
 
Located Perth.

I have a set of stock rev2 springs. Not sure if they're lower than rev1 stockies though

REV 1 / REV 2 = Exact same height what you need is REV 3, 94+ I may have a set PM me.

Weren't the shorter springs on the cars that come stock with the 15" wheels? i.e. rev2 on. Either way I sent you a PM

From my observation, cars with 11/91+ OEM springs (rev2) have a lower ride height than the OEM equipped '90 models, and are noticeably lower at the rear.
 
The part numbers for 11/91 to 11/93 springs are different to those after 11/93, but the difference may be spring rate because the later model cars don't seen to ride lower.
 
Anyway FWIW, I fitted a set of 94 Bathurst springs that were roughly 12mm lower on the front, and about 20mm lower on the rear, compared to the OEM '90 springs that had been on it.

Aaaah - seems like there might be a bit of mystery involved here, also NA to Turbo appear to have different spring part numbers too. Either way I think any will be fine as long as in good nick!

You may also be interested to know that Eibach Pro-Kits on my car rode almost the same height as the '94 Bathurst springs, but they rode noticeably harder. IMO, for a better ride go the OEM '94+

That's a really useful bit of advice - Did you find steering and driving response comparable? I think I will try and go only OEM in that case (was still tossing up attempting to source eibachs).
 
Cheers.
