And thats what I reckon it probably is. I keep meaning to take the spring insulators out but haven't got round to it.

The reason no one is answering is because its a stupid idea. 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.

haha here is a question that mite grab ya mate. 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

21-12-07, 09:15 GMT+10#51 you know what munro you are just as unhelpful as vl hero, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all

21-12-07, 15:25 GMT+10#52 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

its kinda of the same situation with air bags, no u can live without them but they are there for a reason... 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...

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
