    Well I have superlows now and the guard sits just above the tyre. Go SL front and UL rear.

    My mate had fe2 in the front with ultra's in the rear and it looked like he was towing an invisbale trailer....

    If your going to put supers/ultra's in the front then ultra's would look good in the rear


    Thats what i think

    LOL! haha now i get it, well then i myte aswell chuk Supers at the front then, cuz i really want those ultra's. When i look at my fe2 at the bak they look short just simillar to the ultra's. Should i be worried that i wont get the car any lower? Or will those ultra's go lower than the fe2's?? Sorry for all the questions btw

    And it looks shithouse . I agree with you there's no place for lower springs at the rear than the front. I think it's a really bogan look that's developed because the rear springs can be changed in 5 minutes but the fronts take a little more brain power. Some people just aren't up for it and this look has evolved from that. But in the end it's about as silly as the people that think it looks good. Just put Superlows in both ends and be happy

    Its so true that people are to lazy to put in the fronts.... Hence alot of people driving around with stock fronts but ultra's or lower in the arse end....


    I cant say to much about having a lower spring in the rear but, mine are ultra's in the rear and supers in the front so it sits pretty flat most of the time but gets some invisable trailor on some surfaces lol.....

    yeah mate but your right it keeps your ride flat people reccommend doing this and it dosnt have an invisible trailer effect like ultras in back and stocks in front do

    Ive got ultras in the back and supers in the front of my vs which is live axle and it rides fine, you just notice a few extra bumps while driving but nothing major. My rear is even sitting that low because it live axle so the back is legal with ultras and illegal with supers at the front

    Its pretty bouncy, but anything is compared to stock

    I cant sit here and say it is or isn't because two people will have different oppinions about it..... I dont mind a car on ultra's but my mate thinks the ride is wayyyyyyy to bumpy... so meh! depends

    Oh fair enough, I personally like the bumpy car ride, i think it looks preety good. Then again its a personal opinion. Thanks Padrickz88 I dont know alot about the suspension system but i cheked underneath an my VS is live axel?? Does this make it easier or harder to lower by any chance?
