I've got superlows on my eb, sits 2.5" lower roughly without having much trouble with clearance. I think you will find that most members will probably have superlows or the equivalant. Its a good height, sits real low without being to low if ya know what I mean...

I have superlows in my BA GT-P, it sits 355mm from hub to guard at the front and 360 at the rear.

Forget gound to guard measurements etc as they are too reliable.

My brother has ssl's in the front and it sits at 330mm with standard h/duty LH Torana spings in the rear, again at 330mm. This car is too low in my opinion, drags its guts everywhere. Ride quality is good though.

Will you be able to get through a roadworthy with superlows?

Not low enough :( I've got King Superlows with Monroe GT gas shocks all round in my EL. One day I'll get some Ultra Lows with shorter stroke shocks.

I think when you order superlows you take a chance with your ride height. You dont know what you are getting.

My EB was really, really low with superlows. My exhaust only had 5.5 cm clearance, I had to get it remade and then it had about 9 cm. It was a 3 inch exhaust and I was running 14 inch stockies. I was pulled over twice for no apparant reason, I think it was its low ride height that attracted attention.
