Hell I had supers in mine and it was just on 100(without spare tyre and people in the car) ive got ultra's and have well over 100mm clearance, thats with 15's aswell Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

They are there for a reason. Going all kebab spec is all good and well but it aint fucking legal... Ive got an idea for you champ, take your springs out, take your shockers out and WELD the body to the struts... It will ride probably just the same and bottoming out wont be an issue... Now I have to reply to someone else BBL, I got more strips to tear here. Oh and merry fucking xmas, your car will love me.

Do you have a rubber seat on the bottom of your front strut? If so that will be where your getting the extra height from... I had some super lows in mine and 2.5" exhaust and that ******* used to bang on the coke can... Also you know at the bottom of the car how u have that sorta lip near the doors? I used to only just make it under with a can on the SL's.... Ultras I woulda been scarping my ass like a dog with worms

What is the relevance of a coke can? Last time I checked a coke can was 130mm.

Munro's just an argumentative, unhelpful fuck. Don't take anything he says too seriously. It'd be slightly more acceptable if he were actually right more often

hey just to clear up the whole ultra lows ride hight hoo haa....yes your skirts will sit just a fraction above 100mm, BUT your exhaust/cat will be lower. especially the turbo front pipe because NO ONE has a lowered VL with dump that hasnt been dinted hehe. good luck with everything mate. best advice i can give is trial and error. no 2 VL's will be EXACTLY the same cheers

If you get it to the point where you need to cut them your car is too low and its gonna ride as rough as **** and slowly destroy things...

It'd be slightly more acceptable if he were actually right more often Im right more often than Im wrong. Just for some unknown reason people only remember the mistakes you make. Which of course has been 3... Im not sure where ur pulling urself but hey champ, if you wanna answer for me go ahead
