    Supers will get you to about a finger between the tyre and guard which will drop a little with a full tank. Alot of people are doing super front and ultra back to even it out a little more. Or if speed bumps are a nightmare which they will be then go lows in front and supers in back.

    I had king supers with boge short shocks all round on my calais and it was pretty good but I did want just a little more in the back. But now with my super 6 calais and the same set up its a little lower because of the tank which is bigger and closer to the ground, so Im happy with the stance for that reason.

    Arrr k, yeah Iv put supers in the front, just figering out the backs the hard part lol I'm thinking more supers in bak, cause a finger gap would be nice at static, I imagine it will sit a little lower when driving, also cause I tow my dirtbike around alot too, hmmmm but I would like the nice no gap lol but I don't wanna go too low

    Supers could be right on the money then. I would think that in D it would also compress a little with the movement of the driveline and such. Also it would give you the leway for the trailer as well.

    I'm having the same issue, not sure to go ultra or super in back. Anyone got a pic of the two to compare?

    defiantly get the camber kit. but you will still shred the inside of your tire cause all the cars i have seen fitted with lowered springs still have the tires cambered in a it

    I have a noltec 4 point camber kit in the series 1 calais and what I suspect is a 2 point nolathane (red ranger) kit in the series 2. They are worth the money over time imo as they will help to get some extra life from the tyres depending on how you drive.
