Here is a couple of picture of my car on King Lows with KYB Std Height shocks front & Monroe GT Std Height Shocks Rear.
Obviously its too high and I hate the gap in between the wheel arch and the tyre so I want to lower it but I am unsure of the EXACT ride height of the lower springs so I am after a visual to help me out. THANKS if you can help......... PS instead of getting a mechanic to do it I will pay a member $100 to fit them once I decide which ones I am going to get fitted - thats if a member wants to take that offer up or I am very happy to go to a mechanic

i put king spring super lows on the fairlane didnt change the shockers doesnt need it ,it didnt go as low as i hoped for but probably for the better cause it misses most carpark gutters and being a long wheel base you need all the space you can get ,coppers never look twice which is even better.
next is the ef xr8 might try some other brand see what's a little lower than kings. den |

Mine is lower than stock as you can see in the below photo BUT i want to make sure that when I lower it this time it sits the way I want it. Does any one know if they keep the stock shocks in that the car will sit higher than if you put the shorter shocks in or it doesn't make a difference.

I also have G-Spec springs, they only suit people who think that pretty much any off the shelf spring isn't low enough, they're custom made.

Sorry to hijack the thread for a second lol, but how would i go with superlows on an EL XR6 with a full venom kit?
Would it be near impossible to get over speed bumps and what not? |

Mine are Pedders springs, not sure what type but roughly equivalent to superlows.
