    you could take your car to get the springs reset i dont know who does it in sydney but here in vic the suspension centre pull your old springs out and i think they heat them up and reset them to the height you want correct me if im wrong about how they do it, but you can get your springs lowered more.

    it would be safe providing the springs dont fall out when you jack the car up in other words the shocks must hold them in and there not so low that they fall out going over a bump.

    Baffled as to why you want to go lower, get bigger wheels instead. Or airbags, then you can put it on the floor.

    the ultras dont really drop the car much lower anyway its the front in the VS's that are a concern when you drop them with the superlows if you have extractors the Y piece is forever getting hit , the rear clearance isnt that bad i dont drive with people in the back so i can afford to lower it a little bit more anyway

    Mate resetting springs is not the way to go as the steel will loose the properties its ment to have and will be like your got chopped springs anyway. So just look around and find lower ones. I had pedders ones in my vs dont know what they were though and it was almost on the ground
