Post pics of your suspension setup

Superlows all around - there's no other option:



Doesn't bottom out, handles like it's on rails, and looks legal (even though it's 1cm under the legal height with a full tank)

Front: Kings Superlows with Monroe GT GAS shocks
Back: Lovells Linear Superlows with Monroe GT GAS shocks

You can do better, but that setup is cheap and effective. I've heard good things about Bilstein if you have the extra money to throw around.

Keep in mind, in that pic, there's no spare in the boot, no jack, no sound deadening, and an almost empty tank of gas. Fully laden it's about 1-2cm lower.

New pedders sports rider suspension. short stroke shocks. Adjustable panhard rod.
Pedders springs. Very happy with the setup yet to come superlows front and back and new front shocks.

 

And here's superlows at the front, and Lows at the back. I heart rake.

 

That vp was damn sexy

Question is do you care about tucking tyre in the rear?
if not then lows
if a little then supers
if alot then ultra's


But pretty much 100% go supers in the front, as comfortable as stock (personally) but handle so much better....

I doubt you would want ultra's in the arse but ill post a pic anyway so you can see if you like the way the front sits supers in the front and ultra's in the rear (all kings because i got them cheap) with pedders comfort shocks.....



I also have gas, a pretty heavy sub and it sits a bit lower in the back then in that pic....

 

With Calais spats, you'd be tucking rim at the back

And thankyou ^_^

 

I have 235's all round and don't have have any trouble with rubbing. My guards are rolled. If you lower the car get an adjustable panhard rod and you shouldn't have problems with it.

I had a good long chat with a guy from Pedders yesterday about suspension and Superlow's are a sufficient enough height for the suspension and springs to perform at their best.

He told me when you go putting ultra low's all round and racing someone down the dandenong mountains the superlow will allow the suspension to perform better unlike Ultras which look drop dead sexy but cause it to bottom out frequently and have the cops on your tails about the bloody ride height.

But however make he decision that suits you best mate as this is just my advice on the subject hope this helps!!

 

$150-200 (Depends who you know) and 10mins installation very highly recommended. Sometime you will spend money on this and that and this and that and still can't work out why it scrapes. So this will be money well spent.

You will have them adjust it when you but it off them to suit your height at the time.

I'm no expert but i picked his brains for ages to know how everything works down there.

 

Morton has a point, you could put some spats on from a vp?
And i wouldn't worry about superlows bottoming out, my ultra's (rear) were pretty comfy until i loaded my car with caraudio and fuel etc etc, so superlows wouldn't be a problem... Never have a problem with the fronts ride perfect

I still think superlows in the front

Btw what size are your rims? when i had 17's on my car looked like a 4wd in comparison to 15's lol and they wouldn't scrape on anything to be honest... But on 15's i scrape a shitload more....

So might be something to think about?

 

just for the fun of it, this is what the arse end looks like with no springs:bang:

 

Don't think it would ride well lol.

 

lmao, take out the bumpstops and you should of been tucking rim lol... its sitting on bumpstops in that pic

 

Hey padrickz88 what's going on in your pic of the rear end

 

The passenger side rear tire, is jammed hard up against the inner guard. An anjustable panhard rod should see that set straight haha

 

Whats going on there is Ultra lows and a driveway:wax:

 

The front is a pedders setup and i think they are just lows with a pedders strut
The rear is some $40 gabriel gas ryders with some progressive superlow kings
