    Any clubbie kits or other low kits? If not should be fine. Note on *should* every car is different. I put Kings 'Low' springs in my car and the rear dropped about 3-4".

    Yeah they are only supposed to drop about 1", but for some unknown reason they dropped a lot more. I have 18" mags and the wheel arch is basically in line with the top of the tyres. I'd take a photo to show what I mean but cars at the shop getting a engine rebuild.

    I'd say my car did something freaky, it shouldn't happen, and probably won't happen to anyone else. But hey, I'm not complaining, looks sweet.

    Really does depend on the kit ultra lows with 19's should be ok (well ok not legal) as long as your kit is not too big

    click on the link in my sig. That's my ute on ultra lows and 18's. It was too low for me, it caught on most speed humps and I couldn't get onto alot of driveways. It would probably be worse for a sedan especially if you've got people in the back.
