there is no minimum unloaded height in QLD, and I've not heard of it for other states. only heard of minimum fully loaded height (full tank and rear seat wit 3 adults) I would suggest king superlow front and ultralow rear, but you may carry more people than me

Only thing with Ultralows in rear, superlows front is when you have a full carload it sags bigtime and basically scrapes on ants. I've gone the superlows allround and just going to keep a full tank of petrol all the time, plus a subbie and amp later should see it sitting a bit lower.

Then again if this sort of thing is not an issue and you're after just looks ultralow rears would be a far better option.

Hope that helps a bit

Take a look at mine mate! Just got the rears lowered a few months back and yes, when you have supers all-round it sits higher in the rear. If you are going to go ultras in the rear it will most likely put your car lower than the legal limit as mine sits at about 110mm unloaded (with 2.5" pipe).
