    Don't search the JC community love saying the same thing over and over again. Ultra lows will probably be what your after. Legality wise not sure.

    so this might sound dogey.. haha
    mate had SL's in his VS with solid rear end Sat about 15-20mm above tyre
    brought it round here pulled SL's out of my crashed vr sat Tyre sidewall was 2/3 tucked on 18's
    difference was 3 coils we chopped off - Was only temporary to decide on what springs he wanted

    You could try gettin some springs and if they are not long enough go to your local spring works and get them compressed more!

    Wow dodgy people in this thread. How about another idea. Don't be stupid get proper springs. Ultra low is about as low as you can go legally so why bother going any lower.

    King Springs Super low front and rear with Monroe GT sport lowered shock. On a vr with live axle, tucks tyre. You obviously want lower so go with ultra lows.

    Don't expect a comfortable ride though.

    Springs are made with a specific amount of recoil for lack of a better term. By compressing a spring your making it operate outside of it's original design specification.

    God I hate people like you. Any lower then ultra low and you will have suspension issues and potentially less control of you vehicle.

    I had a mate with SSL's in his VR wagon. Pretty much sat on the bumpstops. Rode like absolute shit, ####ed up his entire rear suspension from going over bumps and potholes and ended up cracking his chassis one day.

    Not to mention you look like an absolute wanker dragging ass. If you wanna go extremely low get bags.
