FE2 Vs Super lows Vs Ultra lows, height differences???

So can just go with an SSL in the front & SSSL in the rear without changing the standard shocks with an 18" wheels and clubsport bodykit on it?

Hey. Sorry to hijack the thread a bit but what does everyone think of this package

Holden/HSV VE Ute/Sedan/Wagon Adjustable Coilovers - $999.00 : performance car parts | Car accessories Australia | auto components

You're the second person I've seen ask about these.

Won't say if they're crap or not... but..

Just keep it in mind. Could be a reason they're half the price of pedders.

The rear shocks won't last long with SSSls fitted. I'm not even sure you'd make it home.

What you mean by that, here people are saying they have fitted SSSL's in the rear without changing the shocks and they are just fine??? mine is not a ute to put tones of stuff in the back

There's been a tonne of threads where people have fitted SSSLs with standard shocks and they've shat themselves VERY quickly. They're not designed to be constantly compressed to that extent. Personally, I'd be changing the shocks.

buy SSSL king springs for the rear and SSL for the front (front may scrape a little on SSSL) ride is still good on standard shocks. but buying monroe shocks (if it were me rear only) they will drop the rear a tiny bit more

you can get the springs put in at any mechanic dont just look at suspension related businesses.

and coilovers are pretty much height adjustable springs, you can choose to have them wound up or wind them right down and youll be sitting LOW, also less hassles if you were to ever be defected for height as the VE rear springs are about a 2-3 hour job .. costly

and coilvers are around 2.2k + but would probably be the best option

So dyno, yours is SSSL kings with montoe shocks in the back and SSL with standard shocks in the front, right?

 

[TinSnips]

Decent, entry-level coilovers are around $2500 and will be out-performed every time by a good spring and shock combination which can cost significantly less.

just did a front conversion so dont have big bucks

I’ve got a VE International stock height. Looking to lower it, but will it be the legal height off the ground if I have 18” wheels with SSSL all around with Monroe shocks all around? Some pics even would be great? If not should I be going SSL all around?
