    Lower it with FE2 coils from Holden - I know fronts are $130 - dunno rears, the front will just be the same level as wheel arch and same with the rear. Just say, FE2 coils from Commodore S or SS

    FE2 isnt quite enough if your after a lower ride height, mine looked pretty good next to standard VNs when i had the FE2, but since the Lovells supers are in the back, the thing looks tough as from behind, and handles a helluva lot better, but apparently i look as though i have my foot burried into the fire wall when i drive behind people, so i need to do the fronts.

    I dont have any decent pics of mine on FE2, but about that, which i felt was too high, it needed to be lower. Now, my 17s tyres JUST sit inside the rear guard, and at the moment the front is still on FE2, which in comparison to my rears, looks like the offroad pack. Hopefully, once my 19s arrive, they will set the car off and make it look lower

    I have short stroke shocks all round, and lovells super lows in the rear with FE2 front till i get em changed. And 19s, they will come providing someone buys my 17s, otherwise the 17s will stick around, id rather the 19s, but the 17s suit my car so im not phased that much

    Changing rears is easy as, only takes about 20mins, as for how close, no idea, they may be fairly close on ride height between lows and FE2, all i know is, im illegally low, and it aint low enough

    Well heres an older pic of my car with Lovells in the front and rear. I think they're equivalent to Ultra Lows though. Unfortunately I was defected for the ride height :b: so I've now got King Springs in the rear. The front was legal though

    depends on the tyre profile, and generally when you get 18's you would go for a smaller tyre profile so it wouldnt be as larger difference. So if you are going from 16's to 18's there would be an extra inch on the top half of the wheel...which is about 25mm, which means if you went from 225/60's on ur 16's to 225/35's on ur 18's, there would be no difference. But if you stuck to 225/60's on ur 18's, the top of the tyre would sit an extra 25mm closer or into the guard.
