na im good for now. The springs have settled since that first photo. so its lower now :P and i get some sort of bang when i go over bumps with only 1 person in the back seat :P haven't really looked into it yet, as i don't usually have passengers. I have a adjustable pan hard rod as well. might need adjusting or something
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
My old vacationer VL used to do that it was the driveshaft smashing against the bottom of the car have a check if there are scrape marks from the driveshaft where it bolts to the diff flange....mine only used to do it when you were completly airbourne at speed though with ultra low springs...usually over railway lines etc.

I didn't realise it was such a bump and did that once, heard a big whack.. turned out we had gone the wrong way too, turned around, went back and then started thinking we could smell petrol, seriously thought I had hit the tank or something and we were out in the middle of nowhere. All was fine though.
I was just looking at those ultra lows + choppys, was kinda interested but I wont touch chopped springs.
This isn't the place for this, what am I going on about?
Any more recent pics of it then?

It would appear that i have the same problem - i had a look at where the driveshaft bolts to the diff flange sometime ago and it has made a nice little polished patch where it has scraped! It does it if i have people in the back and if i accelerate mild to hard - depending on how many people in the back.
I have superlow dobi's and pedders shorterned rear shocks and adjustable panhard rod.
Does anyone know what might be causing this or a solution to the problem - it isn't altho that low so i wouldn't have thought it to be that...
Any insight would be helpful.

Could be the exhaust hitting the diff. I don't get any bangs and mine is fairly low

Nothing wrong with chopped springs as long as they are captive. Cut off your lower rear shock mount and weld it back on up side down. That will give you an extra inch to put a shorter spring in there. I did that to mine and the cert guy was happy with it
