    Default How Low Can i Go?

    apparantly car has SL king springs all round when i bought it
    front is dead low for SL (jsut above tyre)
    but in the rear there is a good 4 - 5 cm clearance from the top of the tyre to my guards..
    shockers are pedders comfort gas..
    will i have much problems with SSSLs in the rear or will SSL give me the height i want?? tucking some tyre..
    will i need to roll the guards with either spring??
    cheers.. dippa

    i went ultras in the rear and sl in the front (only 2 options given in kings catalogue) and i really would like mine sitting about another inch lower in the rear, but its just not practical as the exhaust scrapes enough where it dips under the diff lol...

    as for scrubbing i have no trouble with 225/50/r16 on factory calais 16's even fully loaded packed for the beach with 4 blokes in it lol but it scrapes the ground over small bumps on the freeway :P

    most suspension places that you can get it installed at will give you a month or 2 to make up your mind on the height so you can go back and get lower springs if you like

    personally sl front, ul rear look good on any s/ss and make it sit 'flat' and the rear tyre will tuck nicely and will prolly just touch on the rim if theyre 19's

    ssl on front will make it look a bit more dipped at the front but the decisions up yo you mate its your car

    Sounds just like my car. From what i can guess only on. It's maybe SL height. Front looks right, Rear seems to sit to high. Guess that's why so many do SL front SSL rear.
