    Super lows should lower the car by about 40mm. So whats the sill to ground measurement?

    im assuming it has pedders coils in it, pedders measure there spring different to every one else, they measure from the bottom of the wheel to the guard(shit way to do it cause if you have different height wheels it a different measurement). depending on what the store fitted(stores in melbourne will fit different part# store to store) you could have front 2151=610mm, 2275=590mm and 6412=600mm, on the rear 2643=610mm, 2641=585mm and 6419=600mm, these are an average and can change a couple of mm either way. part numbers starting with a 2### are red sports ryder coils and part numbers starting with a 6### are grey touring coils. hope this is of some help. these measurements are with your 19" wheels, you add or subtract 12.5mm for every inch smaller or higher your wheels are.

    if your got 6412 in the frt you should have about a finger to finger and a half gap from tyre to guard and if your got 2641 in the rr it should be on top or slightly over your tyre.

    the frt is a sl and the rear is a ssl, yeah pedders dont classify their coils low or super low they just call them sports ryder.
