chasers on VS..... what springs best???

[Jake.VScommo]

hey, my VS is just running on chasers. i want to turn them into BT1 wheels and i'm just wondering what springs would be best to put in and make it sit nice. i want superlows in front and ultra's or SSSL's in back for wen i have rims put on but appartently u should put that size springs in wif just chasers. help me..... anyone got pics.

sssl'sin the rear is goin to be way to low. sl's in the rear will prob be fine. but your asking peoples opinions here and everyones is goin to vary, so there is goin to be different answers.

Look at my Wagon for comparison, i have super lows all round. BTW since my springs have settled in it sits a bit lower now.

[inais]

i have 16" chasers in mine. They sit alright, could be a little lower in the back end though.

i want to turn them into BT1 wheels

Wha?

How do you turn chasers into BT1 wheels? Aren't they the same thing? You either have stockies or chasers.

[2tones]

arnt chasers just stocko's that r silver..as for the bt1 springs .i think they used fe2 suspenion

Chaser's are a little wider than stock wheels.

[GetToDaChopa]

Stockies 15"x6" Chasers 15"x7" . Now one thing i don't know is did the 16" only come on the VE's?

[walesy]

i think u should go ultras all round

and no the vz's also had some that came with 16's

Chaser's are a little wider than stock wheels.

i got a special set ... 4 in wide front and 8in wide rears ... got a set of full slicks and front runners for the drags

If you want the ex cop look then you will run the FE2 springs

[Philthy]

- changing wheels won't affect the ride height unless you have the wrong tyres on them

- your painted stockies will probably look cheap

- not painting your stockies will probably look cheap

- leaving hubcaps on may not improve the look of your car, but it definately won't take away from it

so if i hav my 15" stockers wif the standard tyres on it, would sssl's or ultra's be ok?

What do you mean by ok? Low - yes. Legal - probably not. Will they scrub - not with standard tyres.

You will need a camber kit/adjustable panhard rod as well, and shortened shocks especially in the rear.
Since you obviously haven't searched and read one of the 1000 other threads about lowering I can guess what your next question will be

lol yea, i kno that ill need shortened shocks nd shit. wat about the front. sl's prob the best? any lower would make the gaurd sit over the wheel which is bad rite? nd i wnt need shortened shock if they only sl's rite?

Mate, get rid of the txt language.

If your're going any lower than lows/fe2, it is strongly advised that you get shortened shocks. Tuck under the front guards will cause scrubbing when you turn.

yea, i thought they would scrub wen u turn. thats why u see heaps of VS's with the gaurd over the back tyre but not the front, lol
