eb91xr6 · 05-10-2006, 08:44 PM

reded · 05-10-2006, 08:49 PM

cheers troy.

eb91xr6 · 05-10-2006, 08:50 PM

nah, buy mine, i can go cheaper...lol

Do the front as well, get superlows all round, it'll look stupid if you have superlows at the back and stock height at the front.

phat_stak_tipa · 05-10-2006, 09:42 PM

go superlows all round looks the best and isnt really a drama if you know what you are doing when it comes to bumps and stuff i had my sprint on SLs all round...

Pouki · 05-10-2006, 09:55 PM

i agree with everyone else go superlows all round i got lows on my EL and wish it was just that little lower but still all is good cheers

1FLYRYD · 05-10-2006, 10:01 PM

OED666 · 06-10-2006, 10:16 AM

CaRtZ · 06-10-2006, 12:20 PM

CaRtZ · 06-10-2006, 01:45 PM

Kool u got the same rims as me if u got no gas tank then go ultra lows all round

kyro_02 · 06-10-2006, 03:34 PM

put in ultra lows

oneredED · 06-10-2006, 04:56 PM

Get superlow's at all four corners. That top picture is my car with superlows in the rear and lows in the front (without the shortened pedders shocks). The bottom (very poor) picture is with SL's in the rear , and shortened shocks + lows in the front.

As you can see, a car that looks like a dog with worms scraping it's @rse on the carpet ain't a good look. Well, in my opinion anyways.

EDIT: more pics :P

stevo's XR6 · 06-10-2006, 07:54 PM

yeh that look sick as with superlows

CaRtZ · 06-10-2006, 10:02 PM

go as far as u can go legally troy then never touch the hieght even after u get 18's coz then u can run burnout spec!

thanks Mr 4.0 do u know how this setup is lowered?

You've got a few options for lowing the rear of a wagon (leaf springs)
Either:
Lowering blocks - cheapest option however illegal in some states

Have the standard leaf springs reset to the height you want by someone like Pedders

Or, just buy new Kings leaf springs - they do sell them and they are reasonably affordable.

CaRtZ · 07-10-2006, 12:24 AM

thanks. will look into it

reded · 07-10-2006, 11:35 AM

well ive decided to go "superlows" all round now

just got to ring the wreckers in Shep to try and find a cheap set of superlows for my car. and im getting my 18"s verry verry soon. and will use the set ive got on the car at the moment for burnouts :p

cheers troy

CaRtZ · 08-10-2006, 07:21 PM

well make sure the SL's r legal with the 15's on, u know how they r around here

reded · 08-10-2006, 07:24 PM

well the 15's wont be on the car for much longer, im getting my 18's soon.
and yeah god damn bloody shep cops!!!

cheers troy

CaRtZ · 08-10-2006, 07:46 PM

but if u gunna use em for skids u will probably drive the car on the road n coz u will b burnout spec they will pull u ova n get the tape out

reded · 08-10-2006, 07:57 PM

arhg true very good point there lol. yeah i will have to look into it and do my research about the "superlows" thanks.
i want to enter it into spring nats burnout comp with the 15's but dont want to stuff up the diff and gearbox on it:(
