recommended ride height for a VX S-Pack
Guys i just want to get some recommendations for my VX S-pack. I want to lower it but i dont want it to then be a pain in the arse! I want to minimise body roll and to change the look of the car! I'm open to suggestions for brands as well as recommended ride heights! Part numbers, cost and pics would be mad helpful!
Thanks Guys

Lower it any more and it will be a pain in the ass. FE2 is factory lowering, but a happy medium between performance and that being a pain in the ass.
You may have already found that FE2 scrapes on some driveways, imagine how close it gets to doing that on many more others, lower it some more and it will be a pain in the ass.
If you are fine with that then lower away
Carbon Positive - DO IT!!
stock shockers
pedders touring springs
4 point camber kit
It would only scrap if i had 5 people in there and went too quick into a drain or something. You will learn how to drive your car and not crunch it.
no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone
how much did that setup cost you???? it looks sssssooooo good!
That ride hight looks good ,but shrebcke13 has a vx s and the front bar is a bit closer to the ground so it is more likely to scrape on driveways . I have a vx s and is a pain getting up driveways with fe2 springs.
there are three types of people in the world , those who can count and those who can't
Carbon Positive - DO IT!!
It cost $350 fitted for the springs and $380 fitted for the camber kit.
That was at pedders so im sure you could find a better price.
These photos show the springs all settled down

my ride height, just leaves enough room to sit a beer can under the front bumper without touching the bumper.
mmm superlows for any vt-vx with a kit, ultras for any vt-vx without a kit.
check my page, it has ultralows all round (no kit) and ultralows are roughly 2.5cm lower than superlows
Your freedom ends where mine begins
I recommend this ride height
Not exactly what you would call 'practical' though..
is there any difference in height between the fe2 shocks and springs and the monroe gt sports lowered shocks and king spring lows? or are they the same?

Pretty sure kings LOWS are about the same as FE2.
i nearly bought that car Jesterarts off car sales
i got ssl king springs in mine... i still gotta do the camber kit.. went thru a set of tyres in like 3 months. its not really practical lol

Lol, small world.Originally Posted by ryda921
Didn't quite look like that for the RWC with the FE2's back in... monster trucking! lol.
The lowest I would probably ever go in a 4 door sedan is SSL rear and SL front.
I didn't have issues with 95% of roads when it was just me in the car... but once I had a few mates coming along it got pretty nasty.
Also, camber kit is going to be a must... even with VX SII onwards because you will have alot of rear camber. And if you are going to run low profile tyres, the camber wear will be even worse.
Good luck.
just to add this note.. if you get a camber kit your gonna have to get you guards rolled on ssl cause it rubs something savage
