hmm been told something today wen i went to king springs to buy 2 sets of super lows, he said they didnt actually stock and super lows that would go on the rear because he said they fall out ????
i got 18"'s put on it and there isnt really much of a gap ne ways and it looks hot,
but still in the morning goin in for lows on the back and super lows on the front.
has any one that has super lows at the rear have any problems ?

The lowest you can go with the rear without modifying the shocks is 50mm using lovell superlows. This is becuase any lower and you WILL be sitting on your bump stops.

you look at the top bolt out of the two that run horizontally at the base of the front struts...
If you see a little tab space on it (at the front of the strut) it probably is...
One way to find out is to undo that bolt and then look at it... If it is a camber one it will look like a CAM... that is it will have an offest bump on it...

Ok - kings used ot make super lows all around - but stop producing the rear superlows due to issues bottoming out!!

I have pedder suspension in super low and it is ok but a friend of mine has all round lovell springs and it handles a lot better than mine. On my last car i used king superlows but i think lovell is probably best but not cheap.
