    Camber kit, and it is always recommended to get shortened shocks when lowering your car below SL

    Yeah SL is superlows man.

    SSL's "or ultralows" will require a 4 point camber kit, its recommended to change shocks too but it isnt entirely nessecary


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    if you search this site for your answer you will find many many members all asking the same question. i know it's new for you, but it's been done by almost all on this site.
    quick answer: camber kit, shortened shocks, get 4 wheel - alignment and check that your diff mount is not worn, you can get a nolathane insert that will stiffen up this mount, if you cut corners here, tyres will scrub out on inside edge wasting money....best of luck.

    Cheers for the answers guys, i just want a low Vs and i dont think SL's are low enough, but for the SSL and the other required parts, it cost an arm and a leg, on casual employment :/

    cheers anyways

    mate if price is a worry a camber kit isnt to expensive and the shocks arent nessecary, i have SSL's and stock shocks in my SS.
    i totally agree with SL's being too high as well


    If it isnt tuckin, it must be suckin

    Oh ok, well my mechanic said go for the SLs so I kinda have to, but if they arent low enough then ultras it is, and maybe the camber kit, then when the shocks die get some new ones
