    Default Lowest VS Statesman Springs?

    hey guys.

    Iv'e had Ultra lows/SSSL's in the arse end for some time now and it's just not low enough.
    Iv'e over heard people putting camira springs in or something?
    Im going to get them compressed but am wondering if there is something lower on the market?

    Thanks guys.

    Remove the springs completely?

    Seriously though how low do you want it to be?, I once heard about BMW springs but I have never seen it done in person.

    I am unsure on what springs you can use, without cutting springs and that you don't want to do.

    A friend of mine had K-Mac build him a custom set of springs for his VR and the car sits damn low and has a strong spring rate so even fully loaded its lucky to compress much further then a CM or Two so it doesn't scrape.

    When I see him next I will get a photo.

    Why would he want the rear lower? As its already lower then the front which looks weird?

    Why would anyone want their car so low? Doesnt help with anything, too low looks shit, rides shit, handles shit, wears tyres out unevenly, reduced performance. Do it properly! Pick a nice ride height you can safely drive down the road with.

    OK....

    I was merely making the point that at I agree with the post above mine.
    I see no benefit in have a car so low it does not improve the driving experience, causes abnormal wear on components and rides like a pogo stick.
