In a VL ultra lows are not low enough. You need to cut some off them or get them recompressed. Check out new pics of atmo bt1 car. IMO your rear guard should be leval with the rim Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Jacks car has compressed ultra lows. I agree with you if you have cepters on. Definately going leval with the rim on cepters would be too low. There is usually a line going around the tyre I sit mine leval with this line. The line is like half way down the sidewall.

i know the line you mean around the tyre and that is about where i want the guard to sit, will ultra lows make it sit there, on super lows the guard is sitting just on top of the tyre

You can still buy ultra low springs for the vl i just did the other week and with my 19s on the lip of the wheel sits level with the guard so yeah its pretty low but looks insane!! Cheers Lockie.

seeing as vlhero doesnt want to tell you. i think they lower your car about 3-3.5 inches lower than standard. the lowest part of your car will sit lower than 100mm off the ground. hope this helps. keep checking on ebay and on here as people are always selling ultras
