Hey guys this is my story....
i have had ultralow springs in since i had the car... pretty much it started to annoy me to the point of me getting some new king lows and some nice monroe shockies.... and on one fine day just coming back from getting some parts for my car there was a nice little officer who pulled me over. done the normal random breth test..... then he asked me to get out the car.... next thing i know BAM! defect sticker on my windscreen! it was bound to happen...  well this is just a little warning for thoes who are wishing to lower there car! here are some picks of the hard work to put new springs in! Attachment: File comment: DEFECT!!!!! 27112009(001).jpg [ 259.89 KiB | Viewed 130 times ] The sticker only all to many of us know!  Attachment: File comment: Before the raise! 21112009.jpg [ 270.11 KiB | Viewed 128 times ] What the car looked like with ultralows Attachment: File comment: starting to pull it apart! 27112009.jpg [ 351.25 KiB | Viewed 103 times ] Hard work starts Attachment: File comment: Old Springs and shocks! 27112009(006).jpg [ 241.98 KiB | Viewed 104 times ] Old springs! Attachment: File comment: old out!!! 30112009(002).jpg [ 252.62 KiB | Viewed 102 times ] this is all i could do today with my limmited time! should be all done by tomorrow then comes the booking! more will be up 2morrow!so if any one who thinks they can get away with it, you might for the first few months.... (for me it was 2yrs before they picked up on it) but they will get ya! i was just lucky they didnt make my put my whole car back to stock. that would have killed me! |

Maybe if you didnt go down to buy lows you wouldnt have been caught.. make sure you put some pics up of it with lows.. im still undecided weather to get super lows or ultra in the a** of e very d ay car.. chin up mate.. two years is goood i reckon.. |

yeah i got super lows in the front, and the extractors are no s**t 70mm of the ground.. needless to say i'm picking up some lows this friday.. scrapes on everything, and can't even give it a bootfull in first and second coz the tail shaft nails the floor something fierce... the joys of looking good..

that was one side. he said the other side was 2.5mm to low! How the hell do you measue 2.5mm on a car's ride hight?
