ultra low not low enuf

[beefcream]

hey all,

had ultras in the rear for about 2months now.. but im still not happy wid the height, i want more tyre uder the guard and so the car sits nice and flat

i dont really wanna cut my springs, is there another way?

thanks

Get adjustable coil overs. I know what you mean, mines the same. The front sits lower than the back. I replaced the shocks on the weekend in the back but that didn't help it. For some reason one side of the car sits a little bit higher than the other side at the back.
I dono if Jamex make lower springs. I know someone with a VL whos got Jamex and that things real low.

what is the go woth cars sitting higher one side. mine sits higher one side too. it shits me.

[flyen]

get bigger wheels..lol
19ns should get the tyres under the guards

stock vn's have a stupid rear bar that is way too high
get some ss skirting and it should look lower

[beefcream]

yea mine also sits higher on one side?? i think my sub levels it out now. very odd

yea i was suspicious of that rear bar, front looks great still not happy wid rear yet, altho the ss skirting would help.

im sure ther ar other springs that ar lower.. just doesnt sit low enuf yet. any idea bout that vp wid massive chrome rims? hes sitting on bmw springs, wats the go with them?

beefcream, get your ultra lows compressed... they will sit lower... just ask hozy for pics... his is on the ground.. just dont consider getting a body kit lol

Defa, its probbly due to the diff being pushed out of place then held back in place by the ajustable panhard rod... only way to probbly fix it is ajustables but they can be expensive... and in most cases not worth it for a daily driver

What size wheels and tyres do you have? Originally they came with 185/75 R14's or optional 205/65 R15's so if you've got wheels on with a smaller overall diamater you will put the speedo out as well as the tyres not sitting under the guard as much. With ultralows on the rear they shuld definitely sit under the guard. I have superlows on the rear now with 16 inch rims and they sit under the guard a bit.

Custom springs or get them compressed. Pedders will do custom ones if you want, dunno about cost though. And its good to see im not going insane and imagining that my car sits higher on one side than the other, at least i know im not the only one that sees it

[1991_Vn2nV]

Lovells will also do a custom spring if you are willing to spend the $$$

With the one side sitting higher than the other....is it the same side for every1??? Mine is the left hand side that sits higher

[Doctor Sodways]

Eibach do some of the best springs, and they dont sag either, something to do with the way they are made, cant remember what its called. Yeah, i reckon its my left side that sits higher too! must be a VN thing

[1991_Vn2nV]

I reckon it may have something to do with the weight variance between the rear left and right due to the petrol tank on the right?

It used to sit perfect with my Lovells Springs though...but they were a harder spring.

[defa]

paradox, that does make sense. why the hell didn't i think of that. i should get an adjustable pan hard bar. i really should measure the one on the car the srpings came out of. that thing sat really good...

[beefcream]

how much would i be looking to get custom springs for me.. just not happy wid these ultras

[commy92]

i want my ultras back in. I had to chuck my supers back in cause i got "officaly" warned for my car being to low. I too want my tyres back in my guards. lol but then i HAVE to be about the 100mm or im gonna get smashed, ive only got 1 point and only just got my licence back.

[flyen]

i didnt know about compressing springs

might look into it for my king super lows, as ultras might be too low with my group a rear bar

cheers

It will also make your car an illegal ride height tho if you get your superlows compressed... Although Ultralows are an illegal rideheight at the rear in many states as well (SA included). Remember its a major defect, which means a very expensive trip to regency and its a month+ wait generally.
