Hey guys,

I brought my VZ Calais with Pedders "touring springs" I am unsure of what that translates too, but seems to be about SL . . . I am looking to go SSL or SSSL .. Does anyone have photos of their VZ's on either. . And what is the exact measurement from cap to guard on SSL and SSSL :)

Thanks guys, much appreciated ! :boxing:

Here's mine with sl front and ssl rear. It was all legal at about 110mm and I even had the cops with the roller under it and they couldn't ping me. Now I have an oxforce exhaust which sits lower and makes it under 100mm.

Wazza is your car on kings or pedders?

Kings, have pedders in the other car so I wanted to try something else.

Yeah it looks good on 20s because they almost tuck, sometimes they do on a bit of a hill lol. I have my 18's on atm and it doesn't look as low.

Sssl's look mad but they will Piss you off trying to fit big wheels. Definitely need guard rolling. I had to roll the hell out of mine to fit the 20's on, didn't help that they still had the big ve tyres on haha! Another problem with sssl is you won't pass if a cop throws his roller under there.

I know ssl in the rear is borderline legal but what about sl in the front, is that still above the legal height

I dont understand all the sl ssl sssl lingo but i have a VT with king Ultra low springs in the front and Jamex 75mm drop from standard SS height or 90mm drop for Executive height. She's pretty low but i only drive it once a week at the most. attached is an old pic of what it looked like 2-3 years ago and 1 is recent photo taken with phone so quality is rough.
