    Kings lows are the same as FE2 which is what you would have in the Clubsport.
    The superlows would be the way to go if you just want to go a little lower. Be sure you have the shocks to suit the FE2 otherwise it will be the same height anyways.
    Hope this helps.

    my cat is 71mm off the ground at the moment. i need to know so i can decide on new springs. either supers or ultras. i dont want to lift it too much, coz i like it slammed, but its a defect as it is.

    oh ok, wen i got my supers i got my exhuast lifted for 50 bux, is your exhaust high as it can go? if so ultras should be fine, but then again i got supers and im only 12mm over the limit.. yours should still look good with supers any way

    nah i havent raised my exhaust at all, its still all stock, but i want to when i get my new exhaust installed. so i might install ultra low kings. because u can get slimline exhaust cats, and if i were to have my exhaust raised with one of these "slimlines" on it, it shouldnt be a problem aye...

    camber is the angle of the wheels, camber kits shood be fitted to the rear of your car on irs models. if u look at the rear of your car you will notice that the angle of the wheels point inwards if u lower it the wheels will rub against your shockers and thats not a good idea to leave it like that so camber kits are a must hope i helped

    yeh, the negative(?) camber caused by lowering the car will eat the inside of your tyres unless you add a camber kit
