Would it be too much trouble for some people to post up some pics of their cars, on either super lows or ultra lows, or any low spring for that matter. I want lowered springs but my dilemma is, i want it to llok nice and low, but i dont want to make love to every speed bump i go over! and i dont want scrubbing problems.. im planning on 18" vy ss rims. If you post pics please label the name of springs your running, thanks heaps to guys who post =D.

std fe2 fronts and rears with wagon rear shocks. 18" vy ss rims with 235 35 r18s fitted. struggle to get it to scrub, only managed to do it once when doing 60 kph around a corner over tram tracks. no aftermarket panhard rod or anything else.

i've got super lows all round, but i dont like the look of it as the rear looks like it sits higher above the tyre... i'll be going ultra's in rear soon as i think it makes the ride height look alot better having supers up front and ultra in rear.

Yeah i would just be worried about big speed bumps with ultra's, i wouldn't wanna be scraping, i dont think my car would appreciate it lol.

you will need short travel shocks and an adjustable panhard rod if you want it done properly. you can do it on the dodge but the parts aren't that expensive or hard to get i think my adjustable cost me under 100 on ebay.
