Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
What the hell man... That advice is the opposite of what he actually needs.
Ultralows on the front are Legal! I have Lovells Ultralows at the front, King Spring Superlows at the rear.
Legally in SA atleast the eye heights are 330mm for the front, 305mm at the rear.
Just throw some superlows in the rear and you should be fine.
you sure you got lovells ultras?
coz i been looking at their catalogue coz i need a set of springs n the lowest they got is supers. :unsure:
you can download the 2006 catalogue off their website.
yea i couldnt find it in their catalogue anywhere, why do they never put in ultra
so you're saying they make em, they just don't list em?
Lovell's don't make an ultra.
And for everyone that say 'get supers ultras are illegal...' - you do realise that each manufacturer simply use an arbitrary figure and there's no correlation between names and heights from manufacturer to manufacturer?
Legality of springs depends on rims too... don't forget they can pick up the car a little, ultras may be a defect with stockies but if you go 19's or something with a larger overall profile you may just scrape through.
1991_Vn2nV- that maybe so in SA but in QLD its 100mm to the lowest point
The road clearance of a fully laden vehicle must not be less than 100mm measured at any part of the vehicle other than the wheel rim or brake backing plates. (This does not apply where a lesser clearance has been specified by the manufacturer.)
When lowering or raising a vehicle body (front or rear), the following additional restrictions are based on the manufacturer's dimensions for the standard unmodified
vehicle while unladen:
• The ride height measured between the rubber bump stop and the corresponding metal stop may be reduced by no more than one third.
• The rebound travel measured between the rubber rebound stop and the corresponding metal stop (or the extension of the shock absorber for vehicles
without a rebound stop) may be reduced by no more than one third.
• Coil springs are to remain in locating seats on full suspension droop without forcibly being removed.
In addition, the normal relationship between the front and rear suspension heights must not be unduly affected. Replacement springs (shorter or taller) must have the same or greater load capacity as the original springs. Suspension coil springs must not be shortened by cutting or heating. Leaf spring suspensions must not be raised by the use of extended shackles, adjustable metal plates or by placing the leaf springs to the opposite side of the axle. If lowering blocks are used, they must be either steel or aluminium.
Airbag or air pressurised shock absorber helper springs may be fitted in addition to the original suspension. However, replacing some or all of the suspension system
with an air or hydraulic suspension requires specific approval.
