But yeah, on topic I couldn't get SSL / Ultra Lows, all I've heard is that they're **** as to drive on 99% of the time, but they do look good from a show point of view. If you can handle the **** ride, go for it I guess

mine sits lower than those photos, handles like a dream. thinking of going lower again due to body roll. not too sure what springs are in mine all i know is that they are pedders.

sorry, didnt see sabbath's photo, mine sits just a lil higher than that, going about as low as sabbath's

If you're getting body roll going lower isnt the answer. Get stiffer swaybars.

In that photo mine's sitting on bumpstops. It was a #### to drive and seriously dangerous.

I 2nd that. A quick check of eBay found front & back performance sway bars for a total of about $600, but you could probably get them cheaper.

Not exactly what your after but...

Here's a dogey photo of my work in progress VL, had just fitted King Low's all around, they havent settled yet so they should sit a little lower still.

i had ultra low rear and super low front, it sat nice and even and it was roughly on the limit for height legalities, imo anything higher then that it doesn't look as good, get some proper shocks aswell and you will be fine, tbh i rathered the firmer suspension when it was lower, and i dont reckon it ever rode like ****

I reckon my old VL had Ultras in the rear and supers up front. Had all the appropriate shocker changes and such, but it still had an awful ride quality.

I was running 18's though......if the car was sitting on 15's with a bit more sidewall I think the ride would have been much more acceptable!

A LOT of people dont understand this.
But in order from highest to lowest it is Low, Super Low or ultra Low.
On Ultra Low Springs it will say SSL, call it whhatever you like, its the lowest.

oh and btw you can get different sizes for different cars, so dont reply to this saying i have sssl in my vr bruz.
