    Default Ride Heights - Not Sure How Low To Go!

    Hey everyone, i have a vs series II and i'm getting some new springs for it and i dont know how low to go. I just have stock mags and i want the wheel arch to sit on the tyre if you get what i mean, so there is no gap but i dont want it to take up all the wheel.. Does anyone have a picture of their vr/vs with low then superlow king springs to give me an idea? Thanks!

    on an irs commodore,
    SL's are a little bit lower than FE2's
    SSL's will be about 5-15mm above the tyre
    SSSL's will tuck about 10-20mm of tyre

    SSL in the rear will get it nice and level
    Some say less talk more action. But I rekon more torque less traction!
