I know this has been covered heaps, but I don't think I have found a definitive answer, or the appropriate thread. I want to lower my series 1 VY Exec just the standard 1.5" or what ever it is. What is involved, do I need a camber kit, and how much am I looking at all up. Also, will this stage 1 drop make much of a difference in comfort?

Cheers,

Hedgey

For that height you don't need a camber kit there is enough adjustment. I have Superlow Kings in my Clubby without needing a camber kit. As for the ride lowered springs are generally stiffer which is one of their benefits, lowering the centre of gravity as will as less body roll. I have 19's on mine and the right is nice and tight. Good luck.

Also I lowered mine myself. It only took 3 hours in my driveway. It's worth doing if you want to save cash for more mods.

Just called Pedders, the dude quoted me at $660 for a 1.5" drop. No camber kit, which i thought was the case anyways. And he also said it came with some kind of replacement block or something. haha. But yeah thought that may be a bit steap. What do you guys think?

So how low do super lows take you, and where did you go to get them done? Im on the sunshine coast, so anywhere near there would be a bonus!

VY SII Spac Manual
I recently did mine last week. Got Lovell's Superlows rear, and Lovells low on front. I paid $255 and fitted them ourselves. Did it in 1.5 hours (it helps with the right Tools :)) I will post a pic when i get to my laptop. I had a S pac though and didnt need Camber kit.

Superlows take you 2'' lower than FE2 or 5cm.

The guy said if it was executive height and a big drop to superlows, you wouldve had to get the camber kit.

As for scraping, none yet, but i find my mud guards do a bit, especially on gutters...
