Ok well some newcastle members and even kezz (and even some of my friends) have commented on it, but my car is running superlow springs all round. Problem is my car is sitting higher then kezz's who also runs the same spec springs as me.
The front is about the same but the a*** end is sitting higher then it should. The tyre is just below the gaurd whereas others who have superlows in the a*** end have the tyre inside the gaurd. Only possible thing i can think of is because i have a tow pack. Any ideas as to whether i should swap the superlows out the back for some ultra lows to get it sitting level?

You could fill your Boot with bricks?
Kezz's springs could be a bit more 'worn in' than yours. how old are his and how old are yours? |

I had the exact same problem with my lovell super lows. The back was just sitting to damn high. I put some King ultra lows in the back, and now it sits just a little to low in the rear. I'm thinking of cutting half a coil off the bottom of the super lows to drop them down a little..

Yeah i can vouch for this one, does sit a little high. how many klms have you done on the springs. i think u got them in feb/mar this year, they should be settled by now.
the rear does sit quite high. have u checked the rear springs are actually what u paid for, as i have heard the place u got them can be a bit dodgy sometimes.

thats just like my car thats why i went ultralows.. i got supers and mine has a gap between the tyre and gaurd like probably 2 cm gap where as heaps of others have their tyres level or in the gaurds.. we pulled out the superlows king springs out of my mates car and compared em to mine and mine were higher!
I think new superlows are higher then older ones..... maybe they are making em to be at a legal height.. besides that i cant explain it

Ive had them in the car since early january.
I was gonna take my car down to the local suspension place and get them to check it out, see if they can figure it out. The front sits about right for superlows, its just the rear end that isnt sitting right for the springs i wanted/got.

i think the tow parks used different rear shocks. if you've got a TP on its not really gonna handle great anyway with out the right ride equipment

Would the shocks really make a difference to the hight the car sits??

either you got rorted on your springs or the fat chicks that i drive with in my backseat are doing too good a job.

Hmmm maybe i should do that too. Just gotta find the id tags i suppose, chances are they are freakin hidden.
Yeah kezz wanna loan me some fat chicks so i can chuck a couple in the boot.

my old ef and my current ef both sat totally different with kings superlows.
old one had the speed boat effect. new one is neutral at a nice ride height (and drivability feels much better too).

Well after much thinking, i think i may get my tow pack removed (the whole towbar and all the s**t that goes with it) in a hope to piss off some unneeded weight and in a hope that this may be the cause of the unwanted rear ride height.
