[MIIK3Y]

hey guys im new here,
just thought id say im miikey from the west sydney area

anyway im about to put a pair of 18" VY SS rims on my VR but im unsure on how low i can go in the front

Any help will be muchly appreciated

Thankx!

People usually lower the rear more than the front. If you want it low then Super lows in the back and lows in the front will be ok. If you want it even lower then put ultra lows in the back and super lows in front.

yeah i second that dont lower the front to much i had a workshop ask me if i wanted to lower it while i was getting my struts replace and thought yeah why not...... now my car is ultra low and my front wheels scrub occasionaly....( or quite bloody often to be honest lol)

Just take it into a suspension place and go "Oi, i'm putting 17" rims on this bad boy, lower it so it sits comfortably and doesn't tuck rim, sit it flush with the top of the tyre".

Then they will tell you what length springs to go with what shocks. Makes life easier. Then get a few different quotes.

thankx for the Info guys
im lowering front 1.5 and the rear 2.5

From stock height? If so, your 17's won't scrub mate, i ran my old VP lower than 2.5" in the rear with 19" Sigs, just had the guards rolled, no scrubbing at all. You should be right.

does your car have IRS?.. if it does then yes i would definately get a camber kit when lowering it... the camber is bad enough at stock height.. otherwise you'll end up having to get new tyres much more frequently than you should.


my car is lowered about 2.5" at the front and 4" at the rear and its sitting on 245/35/19's... back has never scrubbed... front slightly scrubbed when i first put the new suspension in but now it doesnt.. the tyre rolled the guard lol
