    Depends mate, on what size rims etc you have.
    Lowest legal limit is 100mm at the lowest point. You would be definately fine with superlows, although if you were running 15's, you should even be ok with ultra lows.

    So yeah would definately be safe with superlows, although I have 19's and superlows and still way legal. You would probably be safe with ultra lows

    Umm Im now 100% but if you have a snoop around on the King Springs site it says there im pretty sure.
    I know that SL's take 50-60mm down, and I think UL's are 70-80mm?

    exactly what i want!

    and yes IRS i believe

    *
    found some nice fine print on the king springs website
    "Super Low springs lower vehicle approximately 10-20mm lower than normal Low Ultra Low a further 10-20mm again."

    original spec's on a VS say the ride height is 147mm (please correct me if i'm wrong)
    so the max ride drop should be 40mm which if just above legal :S
    but this seems not to be the case...
