I was looking at super lows also but Im now kind of considering getting pedders 6419 6412 (tournig) springs. These are a little lower than super low (only by around 10mm) but I dont know if its going be over kill and too low for every day driving, especialy in the front end.
Otherwise Im considering going the super low front and tourning rear which should sit nice and level, same height setup as my old VP.

What size wheels and tyres you rolling on?
10mm doesnt sound much hey??
IMHO i wouldnt go any lower in the front then super lows with stock shockies. Nordy i think Fe2 is helping you
and in the back go as low as u want, if u can handle driving it, the pedders sound good for everyday. its all personal preferance

Oh yea definitely! I dont think Id be game to go with SSL's up front and SSSL's rear without FE2

had a chat with a bloke ino who runs a suspension shop just discussing my options.
the Vz alrready has adjustable toe and so on. ie already has a '2 point camber kit' and by throwing a 2 point kit in you end up with a 4 point if u get my drift.
altho as my car sits now i cant straighten the wheels due to it wasting my guards! only option is "raising" the car . rendering a "camber kit useless"
also you should change your shocks to shortened shocks, der. so then it will feel like a car again, am considering new shocks after my lil talk as it bump steers and would like my ride back!

so basicly you can gooo lowww and pay for tyres or try to find a happy medium.

either way the wags is goin in early next week to see what can be done so will post up any helpful info

I have fe2 at the moment so I dont think it will be a problem :thumbsup:
Im going with the SL front and touring rear I think, I like the ride you get with it nice an level.

I can get kings cheaper and Ive used em in the past but apparently pedders are slightly better ride, I would have thought they are very similar?

 

[bludeck]

personal preferance!!

and you want the car sitting level in gear or moving, not wen parked up

Well, I went the Pedders touring all round.
I will be installing em next weekend so ill post pics once complete

hey guys i got mine installed it looks amazing though i defiantly will need new shocks as the ride is terrible haha. i would take photo's but i dont have a camera but i'm trying to figure out a way. also when ever i turn right my wheel sounds like it creaks but its not touching the guard no one could have clue what it is?

 

[colk]

I dont know if it is this but a common problem is the bearing plate that sits on top of the strut, especialy once they are lowered it puts more stress on them. Even a little crack can make the steering feel funy. Doese it feel normal or just creak?
I would also just check sway bar links or any other bushes etc.
Cant wait to get mine in, any recomendations for decent shocks?
