    Default VX lowering

    I just bought a vx Berlina, i was wondering how low i could go without scraping the fronts/rears on the driveway and on speedbumps (quite a few of the bastards around my house). would superlows be alright or should i stick to lows or even *shudder* stock height?

    im pretty sure lows will lower your car about 1 inch, unless you have the holden FE2 suspension then it wont change the height. Super lows will looks nice and you wont scrap if your aware of the bumps and take them a bit slower than normal.

    id get a camber kit just to be safe

    you can look on ebay and such other sites for springs, just make sure their not dodgy, so picking them up would be a good idea....

    you dont need them, just replace them with some better ones when your stock ones get old
