    You should go to you local transport department and ask them the legalities of it.

    Commodore springs are made for commodores and BMW springs are made for BMWs. Out of curiousity why the heck do you want to go lowe than ultra low?

    use pedders springs...they have springs that are so low they are sitting on the bumpstops...i got the next one up from them and its perfect, (but not very legal) and in the front i got adjustable coilovers so no dramas there

    I can guarantee you, those springs are not chopped.. I wouldn't have them, let alone jump into a car with chopped springs!

    And Cobez, the engineers certificate is gold right when the cop is about to issue a defect for the bags lol
