I just bought some superlows last weekend - they have lowered it to be basically inline with the top of the rubber. I'm guessing ultralows would bring it down to bring the gaurds over a decent amount of the rubber, if not all of it depending on your rim size/ tyre profile.
They also recommend you have shortened shocks with those springs, I've got pedders sports ryder's which work well

I'm also looking into getting ultralows, ive got superlows up front and lows in the rear in the moment (I suspect that was to stop the 19's rubbing for the previous owner) and its just too damn high. How much lower should I expect it to be?

Id say it would be pretty low,...most people I know that have had ultra lows go back to superlows due to clearance/Anger management issues.

I wonder if I would clear my tyres alright...
VY Series 2 S-PAK 16's with ute offset. 225/50's on the rear, 55's up front (dont ask!) The offset is so out of wack for the VL that the tyres were scrubbing on the rear seatbelt bolts!! I trimmed about 10mm off them and now their fine though! I guess experimentation will be the only way to find out!!!

mine are superlows and about the same as clean vlt's rideheight
I'd say put lows or superlows in the front, and superlows or ultralows in the back

nah i'd say put super lows in the front and just normal lows in the back.. i am sure thats wat in mine..
when i bought it the guy i bought it off said it had king springs lows in all round..
and the front sat a bit too high.. so i put superlows inthe front and left the back.. but the back still sits lower than the front a little..
i'd say the rear springs must have sagged down a fair bit maybe

That pic of "CLNVLT" doesn't look like it really has ultra lows in the back. My Berlina sat heaps lower than that with superlows.
Just my thoughts.

Just on the Bresciani Racing car pic you posted, for all we know that car could have thousands of dollars of suspension with Koni adjustables all round lol
