why dont you just get 19s which will increase the distance off the ground by 2 inches instead of spending money on springs to raise your car. im aware youl need 2 grand for a decent set of rims and tyres but if you raise your car youl be 2.2 grand away from those rims and you havnt done your car any favours in the visual department. besides id rather take off that clubby kit which will make it higher off the ground the vz's look decent enough with stock kits.

LOL! my mate this, my mate that. Nice one pal, keep telling people that with each rim inch you go up you raise your car a further inch! see where that gets you.

Have a look at a members ride called " dijm8" he has a calais with 20's and only SSL's in it and its farking low. no way its a further 4 inchs off the ground as it only came with 16's from the factory.

My car has SL's and it scrapes with 17s


I wasnt being a smart arse until you fired up over me correcting you on a fail post.
