    Sports Lows = 30mm
    Super Lows = 50mm
    Super Super Lows = 65mm
    SSL = Ultralow

    These are all measurements from STOCK STANDARD HEIGHT ON THE DAY IT LEFT THE FACTORY
    Most cars are sagged badly already when you replace the coils,and you dont get the true amount as described...your best bet is to measure the distance between the centre of the wheel and the lip of the guard,take that measurement and ring Fulcrum/Pedders or a reputable suspension specialist to discuss which part will give you the height you want...
