I think just about everyone uses king springs so I just want to know should I go lows, super lows or ultra lows?
I have a 2002 au sIII with 20's on it, I want it lower but I don't want to be scraping on everything. Here is a link to a couple of quick pics I took, I couldn't find out how to upload so hope it works.  http://s1193.photobucket.com/albums/aa345/trentk1/?albumview=slideshow |

My XR8 is on SL Front, SSL Rear and I have enough clearance to not scrape on anything.

I watched a guy attempt to get his lowered VE SS up a standard angled gutter. Took 5 attempts with huge scrapage. Just remember if you go too low it will piss you off.............

I'm currently riding on ultralows in the front & superlows in the rear that are sagged to ultralow height (from towing), and the car sit's & rides pretty good. Yeah some really tall speed humps & driveways are a bit of a pain, but you can take then on a bigger angle to get up & down them without issue.

Okay so I think I will go with super lows because I have to go over 4 speed bumps to get into my school car park.
Where would be the best place to them from and will it be okay to us the stock shocks? |
