    Default Lowered VY ISSUES!!!

    Just lowered my vy, super fronts and ultra rears but having probs over 90km. Back end feels as if its swaying.

    Ok sorry got confused they are ultra all round, hubby did tell me that...

    sounds strange, take it back to where you got it done just make sure everything is done up, my old man got a heap of suspension stuff done to the front of his falcon a few years back at pedders, when he got it home there was a clunking sound coming from the front, so we checked it out and the nuts on the strut towers were only finger tight! took it back not happy they tightened them and all fixed.

    springs aren't too low for the rear causeing it to not seat properly and feel like its swaying about a bit, like a loose rear end?

    Why do we help people who illegaly lower their vehicle with different sized springs back and front?
    Do we help people who have issuse with cut springs? NO.

    but check ur sway bar bushes arent split, quite common when theres more stress on them.

    They are not illegal or CUT - they are ultra lows king springs all round done properly by proffessionals who do this all the time and they dont know why it is doing it.

    professionals wont install ultralows. its against their insurance policy and they cant risk it.

    you also mentioned superlows front & ultralows rear. being a different height front and back makes them illegal but i guess it depends what state you are in.

    but seriously check the rear swaybar bushes arent split.

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Did your car come from factory with the same height springs front and rear?
    The professionals will install what ever you pay them to install, pedders fitted my superlows and ultralows without a question.

    check to make sure they didnt forget to re-attach the sway bar, it generally make it alot easier to remove the standard springs

    Exactly what they did to the ute when they changed the rear springs 2 weeks ago - the arse of the car was floating everywhere. Got under the car and bam, the sway bar wasn't hooked up anymore...

    I lowered my front with SLs and the bushes were just about to go. I had noticed problems with shaking etc. Now it handles brilliant. I will probably replace the rear bushes also when I lower the back.

    Generally, ultralows are illegal as they sit the car below 13mm in height. I found this out just in time as no-one would say anything. Insurance wont cover in an accident.
