recently had superlows pedders all round put in my vr commy, the back looked a little high, so i enquired howto make it a little lower,

was told about these shorter spring insulators from pedders, (ment to be 6mm shorter then oem ones) so i purchased 2 for 42 bux or sumin, put them in and it dropped a fair bit more.

attached is a photo off height now, didnt get a photo of height before lower insulators though :( but it has dropped a fair bit and is still all legal (had to get exhuast lifted tho)

To me it's looking a little to 'low' in the back now, but maybe when you get some bigger wheels it may even out.

may I ask home much $$$ the super lows were?

Looks alright mate, you can get the exhaust 'lifted'? The lowest part of my car is the cat and if i could get it lifted I could get the car lowered at the rear more (currently superlows) so it's sitting even and still be legal
