not always as easy as that, i got a minor for too low but have to get a rwc i put standard springs back in exhaust is still too low so can't get a legit rwc if i get a dodgy and take it to vicroads and they check it the mech. and i will be in sh!t

front are pedders not sure of specs of them and rear are cut king springs.
i got it very cheap $1000 dollars. it really needs some attention to the paint with a good cut and polish etc. and the interiors seen better days

Ive got a standard exhaust system and i did some measurements and it looks like if i lower the car on Lows ill have more than 100mm (legal) clearance but if i get SL my cat will be very close/breaking the 100mm mark.
I was thinking shortened shocks and a panhard bar to suit aswell? anyone know somewhere that will get all this and install it for a good price?
Dont bother with Lows dude youll barely even know! probably a 10-15mm difference!
Just go with SL it will sit nice height not "Slammed" if thats what you are after.
Dont worry bout the cops they probly wont even check for height clearence unless theres other defects then they will.
post some pics when done...

that VLCT is hottt! The VR makes me wish i had VY GTSs *cries*
Currently my VS S-Pac is at standard FE2 ride height and looks like this...
And to make it look like this, i need to lower it 50mm. Considering my car is FE2 sports suspension does that mean i would need to get something lower than SL to get 50mm lower than FE2?

Woggster - I think FE2 is suspension that Cops use. For 50mm lower than it is and by the look of your Pic you will need SSL but you cant be sure you are gunna have to do trial and error. SL's might sag a bit and sit lik that who knows.
take that thing off the back window!!!
aaron09 - firsty the have different badges! secondy dont think there is much else different, but the weird thing is i can what a vr and vs is without lookn at badge. its weird. there might be some small changes in the body-windows
