    Default for those with 20" rims

    hey..

    just wondering what suspension i should get.
    so for those with 20" suspension and lowered springs/shocks...
    what's your set up (as in SL/SSL/Sports or whatever - also what brand you guys reccomend) and if you have any pics to go with it too (either my ride or w/e) so i can see how low it is - i dont want to sit too low and cover the rim too much.


    cheers guys

    ok.. without the massive price tag.

    how much would coilovers cost... i imagine a fair bit?

    but that also doesnt help me one bit in what to start off as in if i were to get coilovers.. what ones.. how stiff or pricey should they be etc. :/

    i really know nothing about suspension. so i need as much help as i can get.

    ok was definately too drunk while typing that last post....

    DONT want coilovers.

    too expensive and it's only for street so im not really concerned about how it handles corners at 200kmh...

    just for street use.


    got any pics of how it looks? and what your set up is?

    cheers,

    I've got 20's. I had King Superlows all round when I first got them, and it was a good height imo, took the 'arch-gap' out completely but wasn't so low that I scraped on stuff. Didn't have too much guard rub at the back unless the car was full of people.

    I now have about 150kg of audio in the boot, and when I first put that in, it compressed the Kings Superlows down till they weren't captive, and I ended up with mad guard-rub all the time. I have since replaced all the shocks with Monroe Sport-GT and swapped the rear King Superlows out for Dobi Lows. It rubs occasionally, but I have since had the guards rolled and had no issues at all. It sits with the tyre just inside the guard at the back, and about a half-inch gap between the tyre and wheel at the front.
