why would you need a APR if you deck your vl on stockys?

i think its got something to do with the standard one not being adjustable so it pushes your diff to one side or something like that the lower it gets but i didnt worry bout getting one yet

when you lower it the body will move one way, which may cause it to scrub if u got rims.

what i think milad is saying is on stock rims, the diff shifting over isnt enough to make the wheels scrub out on the side walls, cause theyre only skinny stockies, compared to a 8" wide alloy.

No not hard to fit yourself And to the people who say you don't need one... if you aren't worried about the rear of your car body sitting 30-50mm over to one side then you have rocks in your head

Have a look under your car. You'll be able to work it out

I was thinking of getting super lows too, how far can you drop from FE2 before you need a shorter panhard rod?
