    Default How low can you go

    I tried looking around but i can't seem to find a straight answer.
    Vy Storm ute.
    How low can i get without having to change the shocks?
    Or does that have to be done regardless?
    I intend to put 20s on it and i want it to be about level with the tyres (roughly)
    What size/brand springs would achieve this?

    You can go as low as you want. But you will run the risk of the springs popping out at the rear.

    SSL or SSSL would probably do the job. But would make the ride shit, and the car illegal.

    so the shocks have to be changed if you lower at all it to keep it legal?

    I reckon it's best to change your shocks and get lowered shocks if going anything from SL or 2 inches below standard height.

    I think min height for it to be legal is 100mm clearence at the lowest point of the car. Approx a 375ml coke can.
