    Wat do you mean your stuck? What seems to be the problem? My opinion would be superlows for comfort and roadworthy and ultra lows if you don't give a ####.

    Here's the drill:

    Superlows:
    A/ About as low as you can get legally
    B/ Best height for ultimate handling when combined with good shocks and rubber etc.

    Ultralows:
    A/ Badass super cool must have if you are under 22 (either years or iq points).

    Ultra lows mate. If your car it neat, tidy and in good condition mechanically the cops won't even bother you. I got let off by a cop who was going to give me a sticker on a cruise and I have Ultra lows. I just told him that it went over the pits with those springs in it. I've been through a dozen booze buses and been pulled over twice for random license and breath checks and cops have never said anything about the height.

    Well I don't think it should be an issue. My VN SS is on ultra lows and even the guy at the pits was like "your car is too low but if you move that exhaust bracket around horizontal it will be close enough but I can't promise you won't get a sticker.

    Reapers right about SL UL. I tried ultra low for about 10 minutes and it felt shit. looked mad but hit hard with not much room to move in the suspension = bouncy harsh ride. SL doesnt look as good but rides 10 times better. handling is un matchable and less stress on parts.
    One good idea is lovells springs. they have plenty of sizes to choose from. an example. my car had 3 springs tested. i ended up going SL. that height is about top of tyre. the next one down was covering the tyre half way. and the next one down to the rim. thats on 16" rims. i feel lovells has a greater selection in heights.

    Go ultras man, I got them in the rear of mine and they sit fine. The ride isnt even that bad and you're wasting your time buying superlows, they only lower it an inch. If you like lower cars you'll regret buying the SL's.

    Just forget the springs go naked

    That's why i suggested lovells springs he can ask them to get super low and ultra low and what ever they have in the middle. even if he went SL he can have them reset 10mm lower at another time like i will.

    This is super low height its not to bad. these were my old selby springs and factory shocks. stick it in drive and it sits even lower.
