    Default is there anything lower than ultra lows

    as said above does anyone know where i can get springs lower than ultra lows, ive got ultras in my car but it is still not low enough , i dont want too cut them and i dont have the cash for airbag suspension.

    ultra lows are illegal to have in the car aswell, as the amount of suspension travel is less than 2/3 original. theres no reason a shop wont sell you illegally low springs, theyre not illegal to sell, just to use on the car, much like a lot of things auto stores sell.

    i sell anyone lower springs, i just tell them its gonna sit illegally low and if they dont care, its money in the bosses pocket.

    irs has the sssl's for the rear, but fronts and live axle rears dont get any lower than ultras without having the springs reset or custom made lower.

    I know what's lower then the Ultra lows... The Ground
    If your riding on 15" it will have to bottom out.. I'm only on super lows and i scrap my tow bar all the time reversing out of slightly raised car parks.

    Springs? Who needs em? Just let it sit on the bump stops, thats what sssl's will do anyway.

    Yes your right king ssl's will still have some travel. However every live axel commo ive seen with king sssl's have just sat on the bumpstops with anything over half a tank of fuel in them.

    Maybe as someone suggested have them compressed by 10mm?.
    Yes bigger wheels and a kit make the car look much lower even when it's sitting higher. Ive been thinking my car would look better slighty dropped more, Maybe 5-10mm at the rear and 5mm at the front not much more, Then ad some wheels and it will sit perfect.
