    SL's are lowest legal height, SSL's are lower than legal....most cops wont bother pinning a car on SSL's anyway unless you give them a reason to
    VR through to VX wrecking in WA, must get rid of these!

    U said barely 10m if ur lucky. lol. It dropped it a smidge over 25mm from memory when I measured it before and after. No its not dropping it on its ass, lol, but its definately noticeable to the looks of a car.

    Super Low is Legal height. However depending on how your exhaust hangs from under the car, like mine it's fairly low, is where the 'illegal' part comes in.

    Yes, call 0 the benchmark as Stock spring height. FE2 sits about 10-15mm lower. Super Lows sit 50-55mm lower, Ultras about 70mm lower.

    FE2 is nothing more than a slightly stiffened slightly lower 'sports' package. For us streeters, FE2 is never usually low enough. Especially not 'uleh' spec.

    Waste of time me reading that. Not much difference at all?????

    Super Lows


    VT's will sit lower in the rear being IRS as opposed to mine which is Live Axle
