    Default Anyone got Ultralows in the front?

    G'day, i just got king springs superlows in the front and ultras in the back, would like the fronts a little bit shorter but not real keen on cutting any off them. I would like to see pics of anyone with ultralows in the front, and if it sits level or leans too far forwards with ultras in front and back.

    Post up the pics please.
    Cheers.
    Dan

    Can you post up a pic of your car mate? I'd like to see how the ultras look in the back.

    They look better with superlows in the front and FE2 in the back. Ultra low in the front and Superlow in the back shoudd look the same, just slightly lower, but I like how you have grasped the concept of the attack angle . Some random people prefer them lower at the back than the front. That just makes them look like a grandpas car that towed one to many caravans and pretty stupid looking to me

    Go the attack angle!

    Ive got sports low's all round but im going to get some super's for the front soon Even with the sports lows i get complements on the angle, maybe its just the VN's high rear.

    Heres a pic of mine with superlows in the front and ultras in the back. thats with 19s on, whole car may sit a bit lower with smaller wheels.



    Might swap the fronts to ultralows yet, would be good to get a pic of someone with standard unmodified ultras in the front.

    My tyres sit level with the top of the wheel arch, and i scrape my extractors on speed humps. How do you guys with lower rides manage?

    yeah i know man, new springs raised it up a bit not real happy with it. Might opt for ultras in the front to start with, ill be waiting for dylan pics though, good luck with it mate, its pretty straight forward.

    How are yours custom mavric, chopped ultras?

    And how do you boys go with having the front so low, when your turning and go up a gutter does it smash the guards? My old springs usto, front tyres where tucked past level with the guard.

    Ive been told that the vr shocks have a lower seating height by about 10mm, that may explain it? Ive just put VX fe2 shocks in my front too, they are suppose to sit slighty high as well i think. Dunno, i reckon ill end up with ultras in the front. See if i can get the supers swapped as they only a few days old. Anyone after a pair?

    Love that height, looks schmick man. Are they 18's? That's the height i'm aiming for, but mine is a bit high at the moment. Mine's on pedders so i don't know the scales.

    lowest king springs made for the vr live axel is the ultralow or superlow (KHPR-20SL)



    axemurderer101 - does yours sit lower at the front with ultras in front and back, bit hard to tell from pic, whether theres a slope on the land...?

    I've got KHFL-47ssl's in my car. I've heard that they're ssl for VP's, but they turn into sl's for VS's. Dunno. Just asked for superlows when I bought mine.

    i know everyone loves posting pictures of their cars, but he asked for pics of cars with ultras in the front. i dont think anyones posted a pic with ultras in the front yet? kidmavric is probably the closest so far. got a good side-on of your car?
