    I have a 2006 VZ acclaim. just starting to modify it. got a quote for springs and shortened shoskcs. Just wondering to those who have thorough knowledge as i have heard many different answers, WILL my car be LEGAL if i have SL king springs up front and SSL king springs on rears ? also planning to put 19's on but currently riding on the 15' standarad alloys. Will it be legal with the alloys and these springs ? also riding on pedders shortened shocks

    Also if any has any pics please post

    thanks

    Yes it will be legal.

    I'm using Ultra Lows (SSSL) front and rear on 19" wheels. Ride quality is fine as well.
    But yeah i haven't had any problems at all from the boys in blue.

    Hey mate,

    Cheers, and no i don't have them rolled and haven't had any problems since.
    Actually considering going lower in the rear but i'm going to see how it sits after the subs are in.

    far out lower in the rear, would look pretty sweet though, i dont want to go too low at the moment becuase im only rolling on the stock standard 15" alloys currently. what you think about putting black wheels on my car, i have the bluish greyish colur of the acclaim ?

    You're riding on 20s though aren't you dijm8?

    @lowerdVZ
    Yeah mate black wheels would set it off real nicely, with your windows tinted as well!

    What sort of wheels are you looking at getting?

    I actually am changing my wheels as well.

    Yeah i've got the SSV wheels on my car. Very simple and very effective.
    I'm tinting my tail lights very soon as well! But i'd recommend getting Calais tail lights. Would set it off.
