I'd reckon drop it an inch and a half thereby keeping it legal. Afterall, theres no point in spending a sh!tload to drop it heaps and then have the cops defect and hassel you to change your springs.

I've got 18s and I dropped mine 35mm all round. That will bring your wheel arches a finger width away from your tyres.

Here, take a look:

UNDERGROUND!!

The mechanic that did my suspension has a VY SS and he has the same setup as me

SL front and SSSL in the back....
The sexiest SS around jst cause of that...

Though if ur more after practical...
As for difference in suspesnion types i can only vouche for kings

L (low) - FE2 equivilent
SL - And inch lower than FE2
SSL - 2 inches lower than FE2
SSSL - (Mine) 3 inch lower than FE2

Feel free to correct me on these...its early...n i can't remember the exact details! :p

I say SLAM IT!

When I had my VY V6, I lowered it but stayed on the conservative side and regretted it ever since. This time round I wanted it to look the way I wanted it to look :yeah:

Lovell ultra lows all round.
