Lows all round.. 40mm drop. (King Springs are what a majority of people have on here (90%))

For a minor amount of scrapage (just means you go slower) superlows front (60mm) and lows rears (40mm).

Neo,

unless ur planning on fixing it up this week....

wait till the cruise mate.... then u can have a look at everyones mines 40mm or so on 17's hardly any scrap but still looks bit high at the guards but when looking at the body pretty low ....

superlow on front gonna have to be very careful over speed humps very careful....

if ur thinking extractors later probably wanna just go lows....

Mines superlow on the front.. sure you have to slow down a little but other than that its no major issue unless ur trynna head up or down some crazy driveways/bumps. The only things i usually scrape are my mudflaps (i know i should take them off) and sometimes the tow hook at the front.

i have compressed superlows all around

i got super lows on the front lows on the rear,

i always seem to hit the front tow hooks but nothing an angle cant fix

well im plannin on super lows (f) and lows (r), but im probly gunna get the rears compressed to the same 60mm drop as the front superlows, wot do you guys reckon? will it look nice and low, cos i want the tyres to be inline with the gaurds basically

well i got superlows all around like i said b4.. and they are compressed.. front is not int he guard.. and i'm 7cm from the ground

rear is in the guard and i'm still legal

hey choonga....how much did u compress ur springs by?
thanks

he didnt, he bought them like that

i wanna get m rear compressed some more (just put my 40mm at back in last saturday) thinking another 3cm at back and 1cm at front

hey choonga....how much did u compress ur springs by?
thanks
was told they were compressed 2" all around... but i doubt that

i just got my car lowered and rims put on today.
they used lovell springs?havent heard of them does any one know what they are like?
anywho......the guy told me to wait a week for them to settle down but i can honestly say that if i didnt have the old springs as proof i would never of guessed that the car was lowered. i am thinking i just gave cash away for no result.
i requested at least 1 1/2 inch lower than usual but i cant see the difference.
Any one have hints or comments? :doubt:

lovells make 30mm and 50mm drop for magnas

so i guess u got a 50mm drop, wait til they settle

if it was only 30mm then yeh, throwing cash away really ppl cant even tell my car is lowered now and it dropped 6cm at the front and 4cm at the back

so you reckon i only got a 30mm drop?
and that it wont get much lower than it is now even after settling?
wow if thats true i really did waste cash?mmm
should i be disappointed or wait a week b4 having a sook just in case the settle down? :cry:

i checked the Lovell springs box and it doesnt say anything on the box about what mm it lowers the car.
how do i find out whether i got the springs that lower 30mm or 50mm?

They are well known, good quality springs.

Does it have a part no. on the box?

If the part no. has an SL at the end u have super lows

You might need to get them compressed

I got mine lowered with Kings Lows all round (supposedly 30-35mm drop) and I definetly noticed the difference - especially getting in and out of the car for the first time.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying it's "on it's GUTS" low, but I'm happy with the results, and i think anyone who says they can't tell the difference between lows all round and standard just needs to park next to a standard magna, get out and have a look - they look like a freakin 4WD with std springs!

I notice you said rims and lowered.......

if u got 17's and lowered with the springs u wouldnt notice much at all .... u'd notice next to another magna of if u still had ya stocko rims on and just lowered... thats if ya changed rim size..
