Hey if anybody has pics of super low king springs in the front of their vl (pref. with 17s but if not doesnt really matter) if so please post a pic. Just want to see how low it will make the car.
Thanks alot

Yeah sit that on level ground...... If you stick super lows in the front put ultra lows in the rear..... Just did a car on the weekend both
cmy 747 (his own car) and
0vl 087 saw it and I am sure they will both agree it sits perfect.....
The sill will not sit level with superlows in the front and rear..... Not on level ground anyway......

i dont think i could handle (not drive handle) it any lower sometimes it annoys me enough with the super lows - already damaged my zorst and its only 2.5" i dont know how it will go when i get 3" (not for n/a)
my car is on level ground apart from the front tyre on the grass but that would only be 10mm or so
Andy is gay anyway how would he know whats perfect. lol
have you got a pic of colins car with this super/ultra low setup??

True, they arent cheap. My setup cost $4k for custom built Koni adjustable coilovers and its real nice... if I were doing it again I wouldnt do it any other way

19-07-06, 13:34 GMT+10#10 Your car is far from on level ground...... Measure the sill on level ground and there would be and easy 15 to 20mm difference...... That car aint low mate and if your exhaust is damaged then you have to find a new exhaust gut cause he obviously doesnt no were to run it......

19-07-06, 14:34 GMT+10#11 Mate that is plenty low. I have Superlows front and rear in my car also and I know how much of a pain it is to drive sometimes. Always hitting bumps and bottoming out of speed bumps and all. Plus the driveway at our house does not help.
I would love to put Ultralows in the back of mine but I don't think I ever will. Just doesn't seem practical. But, looks sick!

21-07-06, 06:48 GMT+10#15 all springs should cost the same
if you go super lows or ultra low you should really change at least the rear shocks to shortend shocks (to help with ride and height)
you should also put in an adjustable panhard bar
cost me 1000 for 4 springs 4 shocks and panhard bar installed

21-07-06, 07:32 GMT+10#16 Yes adjustable panhard rod is essential for lowering these
