    well raise it then, but by the looks of that thats ultra lows? and if you didnt have the body kit, with those springs you could get up your driveway lol.

    but that ride height looks so tuff

    You want to lift the ass up a little just to make it level.
    At the moment it looks like a Bogan special with 3 fat whores in the boot.
    That's the difference between a class ride and a festy westy shit box.
    A little harsh I know but you don't see class cars getting around with there asses dragging on the ground.
    Sorry Dude if it bends you out of shape, But that look its as yesterday as wearing your pants at half mast and your base ball cap on sideways...

    If you are going to raise it, measure the distance from the centre of your hub to the guard, then speak to greg from gsl on this forum, he can tell you where ultra lows, superlows etc will sit. my vs at the back is about 28 cm, he said ultra lows would be roughly 35 cm, and that would be a perfect height for me

    this thread doesnt make sence. if you want to raise it, raise it? if you dont, dont. IMO i say lower it even more because im not paying for the damage, and im not driving it.
