I was gonna post these up a few weeks ago just after I got my green Ps but I forgot. lol Anyway nothing on it has changed but next month when the rego runs out i'll be getting new plates (GLD-086) on the new Gold on Black plates. I want to try to go with a classy style but in order for me to do that I need to make it as cleanly presented as possible (i.e piss off that tacho lol). Brad (Nugget) saw it in the Foreshore last weekend and he was pleased with it. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Did your car sit at that height straight up. Mine has superlows in the back but sits maybe a little higher, keep in mind I don't have any sub boxes or anything. Do you but? I'm just gunna put 4 calais rims in the boot to weigh it down, couldn't be bothered buying subs and boxes and amps and such. Jason.

There's a sub in the parcel shelf and a amp in the boot. Also guys, have any of you had trouble getting your VLs even, when lowering? Before we put the Superlows in it, it had normal King Springs and it always sagged in the back left hand side. We thought it was a weak spring, but when we put the Superlows in, it was still doing it. Although it's not as noticable, you can see one side is slightly higher then the other. Oh and it's the left hand side aswell. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeah my brothers sits wierd like that to, lower on the drivers side at the back. When I put the superlows in his car but, I noticed the bottom rubber is pretty worn, where as the other side was fine, so it could be your rubber things ontop or on the bottom of the spring. Unless you checked them when you's recently swapped over the springs. Looks good but mate, that ride height looks nice with 18's. Jason.

In 2003, when I brought it, the Ks stopped on 268,***, so I'm guessing it's roughly around the 290,***/295,***K mark now. Also they are 18". Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
