The ss needs to be brought down to earth a little just wondering what you guys think I should go with. I want a tuff low look but not crazy and unusable.
Kings seems to be well respected brand but any one with another suggestions I would appreciate.
Thanks

I'm in the same boat. It's hard to get your head around all the options. I don't know how good the 19s will look lowered. I think the 20s might fill it out just right. Pedders are also an option for me.

Thanks Flyer. I'm thinking 20's are a must mate. Do peddles use their own brand?

Anyone with experience with super lows I would appreciate feedback from. I'm now thinking ultra low could be painfull.

I don't have 20" but mines mildly lowered on 19" and to get it as low as one would ideally want it looks wise(I need another 20mm ideally)it would scrape too much on current rims I feel,so id have to agree 20" would be the ideal set up..
I have lovells on mine(walkinshaw use them for their basic lowering mod),dont see them mentioned much at all but they are just fine imo,,king springs get mentioned about 5 times a day on here it seems lol so they must be a good product seeing as a lot of commies seem to have them.

Ultra low may be ok,but SL on 20" should look sweet IMO.

19s or 20s won't matter, the rolling diameter should be the same and won't lift or lower the car at all. Its only how much rim vs tyre U have.

say using the same 35 aspect tyre I have with my 19's with another 25mm or rim size,does that not give another 25mm of filling the wheel arch?? think I worded my previous post wrong re lowering the car versus reducing guard to tyre gap which this would do? or am I temporarily off my chops? :p

I used to run King's "super low" but went to their "ultra low" a short time ago. I had the rear guards rolled as they were touching. The springs have settled in now.
Around town it's not to bad. But scuffing judder bars is normal. But because it's not a daily driver it's not a biggie.



Top picture "super lows".
Bottom "ultra lows".
Wheel is a just a 19".

Hope that helps.

Thanks Pete and for everyones opinions.
After seeing that pic I will defo be going with super low.
Ultras look great but I think as a daily it won't work.

Gotta remember the ve/vf arches are a fair bit bigger than vt -vz arches like in the picture. Mine tucks a bit of rim on my tweetys at the rear on ssl. Don't really see many ve's tucking. They always seem to look a bit higher to me because of that.
