    Mine has 17 inch rims and just put on Kings SL and Monroe GT Sports Shocks.

    I like the way they are sitting.

    that looks nice, i know the car is fitted with Monoroe GTs not sure if sports or not.

    How much would King super lows cost fitted and how do you find the ride height?

    Thanks

    Mine cost $900 to supply and fit the springs and shocks and another $60 to get the wheels aligned afterwards.

    hey mate i got super super lows all round n its pretty low. I'm just tucking tyre at the back on 225x50x16 and the gaurd sits just about the tyre on the front. The back looks a fair bit lower and my tow bar scrapes on a fair few driveways but i like the look of it. I'll try to get some pics up soon.

    Get lows in the front and super lows in the back- if you want it to be legal and look even. You will always want to go lower but to keep the cops of your back thats probally the best height.

    I got the Pedders sports ryder shocks and springs.... car sits at a really nice height.
    Don't have any good pics but just got a good camera so will take some pics to show the height. The pics i have of my car atm are terrible .... so gonna wipe them and attach some good ones.

    I do want to keep it legal as I have had no problems with the cops since ive owned the car and don't really want to change shocks as the Monroe GTs in it at current are only 9 months old.

    Where would the best place be to have it done that isn't over expensive?

    hey mate, if you wanna clear all speed humps still, I would go with the SSL rear and SL in the front at lowest. I have SSSL in the rear and SSL in the front with 18's and it sits real nice and clears MOST average sized speed humps going over them at an angle lol. Def's not as practical but it looks awesome. check the link below for pics on mine

    king springs make SSSL (ultra low)....go SSL front and Ultra low rear on the IRS....check your bump stops on the rear after you fit them you may have to trim them back a bit if the rear is sitting on them

    I just ordered mine through super cheap auto and they get them in. You can definately get them, just have to wait for them to make the springs coz they dont keep any on hand.
