    i dont even think kings ultra's would sit that low........


    if i remember right, its dobinsons or lovells ultra's sit a fair bit lower then kings?


    or you could get some stock springs and get them compressed? i know were ina different state but around here i asked and they guy said $60 if i take them to him :)


    EDIT: its a **** picture but its the only one i could find... this is how much mine tucked 17's with king ultra's, sub and gas tank... excuse the ****ty paint on the car :(

    king springs-
    .:superlows(sl) are a lil lower than stardard springs.
    .:ultralows(ssl) would prob sit like the car above.
    .:and Super Super Super lows(sssl) would prob be wat ur is atm with the cut springs, if u end up gettin sssl's and it sits higher than u want just get them compressed an inch or 2

    lows = fe2 height
    superlows = higher then mine
    ultralows. = about the same as mine (depends on how much weight u have on the back)

    SSSL = for IRS which he doesn't have :)

    Ok story is,

    went to pedders this morning the bloke was amazed my car is driven on the streets cause the height of the rear of it, he said closest thing they can do for the rear is like 2 and a bit inchs hire, He worked out that my cars 4 and 3 quarter inchs lower than standed :S

    Ultras compressed an inch would be about what i have now so im gonna try and hunt down some ultras tomorrow,

    Got some front springs of beefy today though should be in tomorrow night ill upload some pics once there in :)

    It'll handle like a pig with cut springs, and a bit better with actual ultralows in the back. In the end you need matched shocks, swaybars and a good strut brace to get her handling properly.

    And stop flaming, "ImAHoon"... where are you going with this?
