    Hey buddy,
    It really depends on what size rims ur car is riding on! Mine has SL's on the front and SSL's on the rear, with 19" rims and I haven't had any probs yet.

    Cheers, Mig.

    the legal height is 100mm of ground clearance and u must obtain 2/3 of the original suspension travel, no ifs no buts, no coke can measurements.
    Generally superlows all round will keep you legal, but that will depend on what u keep in the boot, audio equipement, etc.

    u thinking of doin it urself or taking it to a pro to do?

    yeah looking to get it proffessionally done
    it currently has 18s on it but will be putting 20s on it very soon.
    all i really want is to have the rubber sit even with the fender on the back and front...
    got any suggestions?
    and yes there is a sub in the boot but only a small one so not very heavy at all

    20's + superlows all round will still look good, and will give you the rear guard tucking slightest bit of tyre, plus you'll still get a nice comfortable ride.

    my mate was told by a cop the other day that the lowest part of the bottom of the car had to be 100mm off the ground.

    sorry to hijack thread a little, explain to me a comfortable ride.. i have FE2 suspension (i know it should be firmer but seriously), and 17" tyres.. every bump on the road feels like i've hit a speed hump lol..

    100mm ground clearance at lowest point, 2/3 original suspension travel retained. Thats the general rules.

    Also as a general rule, 20's are not legal on VT-VZ because most 20inch tyres do now have the correct Load and Speed ratings.

    Hope this helps
