    I have a set of 18"s with 235/40/R18 Tyres

    And its on king spring super lows with no rubbing and no alterations to the gaurds etc. IMO dont do ssl in the rear as it wont sit level

    It sits like this

    mate
    i'd probly go super super lows at the front and super lows at the rear , cause they'll go well, hight wise with the 17"s, the s-pacs' have also got the rear camber kit and the rears appears lower then normal,
    you probly wonna make sure that your shocks have good travel as well, i've seen vts and vxs, where the shockys mounts bottom out on like pot holes or speed bumps and the weld of the mounts come apart.

    um? yes it will be that low on sl lol... my car is on sl. lowest point on my car is 102mm, being on the border of legal. So i don't see anyone wanting to go lower. Unless they want a defect

    Hey all,

    Would VT/VX Wagon springs and shocks fit on standard sedans or SS's?

    Guy is selling a set of Ultra Low king springs, Monroe GT Sports Shocks and 2pce Coil Spring Compressor Set bearing strut spacer kit (which i'm honestly not too sure what that does at the moment)

    I'm guessing though, if the super super lows are too low and illegal on the VT's. these would just scream 'DEFECT ME!'

    You getting some pussy on your bonnet there.

    I'm running SL lovells springs. have kings in the VP. and i must say i love these lovells springs.

    Also. i had SSL lovells on the rear before deciding SL looked better. it wasn't that i was against the SSL rear height. it looked stupid with the front on SL.

    i have pedders equivalent of SL in the front an SSL in the rear on 19s nothing scrubs (not even at full lock) an it sits dead level (center cap to guard height is 330mm all round) but i am thinking of putting SSL front an SSSL rear because low is never low enough .
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    Agreed. My VT had ssl and it got defected. had to put standards in to get the defect off.

    Not sure if you can see it from this angle, spose i should get some better pics

    "King Spring Supper Low Springs
    Boge Turbo Lowered shocks ( I put these in as it is saffer to drive with shortend shocks with lowered springs as it is unsafe to drive lowered springs in normal sized shocks. )"

    Quote unquote from the guy i bought it off.

    And sitting on 20" rims

    hope that helps
