    Hey guys, doesnt matter what size wheels/tyres u have, they are pretty much the same size. Our VT came out with 205/65R15 standard and we have fitted 245/35R19's. The difference is only 7mm in rolling diameter!! Not much at all. I reckon the same as "ephect", wrong springs. But better to be sure and take them out and measure and get in contact with king springs and find out their measurements!! Good luck

    for a live axle that looks about right... they really aren't that low

    measure exactly how much lower you wanna go, take your springs out, take them somewhere to get them compressed by your measured amount, then wack them back in

    is the cheapest, easiest and surest way to ensure you'll be happy with the finished look... don't buy bigger wheels to try make your car look lower

    ultralow springs are low, and they tuck tyre full stop. its happend a few times where the springs where incorrectly labelled. that height is superlow.

    lol not picking on you, but having the springs reset isnt cheaper, only because u need the springs (pre-purchased) then take them to get reset, again more cash to get it done properly.

    you can get springs made to suit your needs and with the spring rate and height you want for bout the same price as off the shelf items, if not cheaper..

    im about to go down that route shortly :)

    but in this guys case... taking his springs to get them compressed will be cheaper than buying another set right?

    my springs have the same code as u stated but i assumed the 20SL stood for superlow.
    Heres mine with 18's, its only tucks a few mill and i did have 17's on it which left a huge gap so wheel size does matter cos the 17's were 45 profile.

    By ultra low do you guys mean the SSl's?
    I plan on getting SSSL's for my live axel VR. I'll throw up a pic when they are in.
