Hi, I want to get the rear of my car to be about as low as the (quickly) photoshopped ver of my car in this pic: http://memimage.cardomain.com/membe...956_18_full.jpg (http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/9/web/393000-393999/393956_18_full.jpg) What would need to be done to achieve something similar to this heights? Would 50mm (superlows) do the job? At the moment, my car sits real nice at the front, but the back sits about 2" higher. I can try and get a pic of it.. Its really annoying to have the front low, and the back higher Thanks. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Superlows will get close to that height. Why is the front of your car lower than the back?

I dont know why . I bought it apparently as low as legally possible, but i got some 17s put on it, and all the front suspension done (with nolothane bushes and shocks, etc) about 2 years ago and afterwards found that the front sits nice and lowish and the back sits 2 or or to 2.5 inches higher now. I dont know if it was the work on the front that made it change, or the car was like that from the start when i bought it (and never used to care about such things as ride height, wheels and suspension!)...

I prefer the vl with the rear slightly higher, cause then they don't look jin saged, and i know people say but they are even, but because of the rear wheel arch being lower having the back a little high makes it look even, just my opinon

your photoshopped car actually looks like its on Ultra Lows there. I bought Super Lows to start with and regretted it so bought Ultra Lows soon after at it sits just how i want it now (same as your edited pic).

Yea go the ultra lows with a kit they look spot on only thing is that you need shortned shocks with them. Put tha big doff doff subs in the back and she''ll sit perfectly level sik bro lol.

Cool, Thanks everyone for the feedback its been great! I might go for the superlows though as i have a bit of audio gear in the back, and also a gas tank. Its probably gonna be a bit of time yet before i get it all done, but i will post pics when finished. Thanks again everyone. Damian.
