i want to get 17's on my 97 xi verada
how low do i need to go before it wil look alright, without scraping over everything?
i heard the verada sits lower than magna's?
mine isnt lowered at all but the back does look low.
cheers anyone.

Industrial springs, Port Road..I think. Get a set of custom 60mm all round springs, I dont think any spring maker has 60 all round any more.

lowest without going custom springs would be Lovells superlows (50mm drop all round) or u can get kings superlows and lows combo (60mm at front 40mm at back)

i have the kigns combo, i dont like it alot the back sits up too much for my liking (yes cars looks level at the arches but the overall car looks like its pointing downwards)

i would say get customs springs made up to hieght u wuold like

when i get my springs compressed im looking at 70mm drop all round which ill be happy with but magnas still look good with 60mm drop all round

Whiteline also go 50mm all round, Phillcom rally sell them.

what sorta prices are kings combo or the ones from phillcom?
or any price range really.

I recommend customs. Just tell em where you want the tyre to sit and they'll do the rest.

Get the back the same height, if not slightly lower than the front to even the car up.

You want it to look "alright" so I'd say 60 front and 60-70 rear. Sure u can't drive it like u stole it, but it will improve the handling heaps.

Otherwise 80 front and 95 rear http://members.optusnet.com.au/~thw01f/vrx/vrx.jpg will keep you right on legal.

doesn't scrape over everthing.......just somethings.

That looks effin sweet, but do you have issues with tyre scrubbin. Thats how low i would love my TE to be, but i only have superlows, and lows, and it looks standard still. :confused:

I had a liitle scraping on the front vrx bodykit flare.

But after a bit of a trim she's fine.

i like that! what size rims are they and how low is it?

18" BSA 291's and King Superlows compressed further (not by much more by the look of it)

Custom springs are cheaper as I've heard from SA's Spring master 4pleazn. Talk to them and get a nice set. And theres plenty of people here who know how to install springs.

Drop it down till the seals touch the ground then lift it up 2 inches and you should be right...


Will look pretty phat...

P.S. For the extreme look just take the springs out all together...

any idea how much these custom springs are? and if someone was to install them for me id be more than happy to compensate them for their time! once i got them that is.

mine cost 330 from k-mac plus 220 fitted.

If I wasn't happy with the height they'd reset them at no charge.

try Industrial (http://www.yellowpages.com.au/onlineSolution_moreInfo.do?z=100005&iblName=Industrial+Engineers+%26+Spring+Makers+%28 Sales%29+Pty+Ltd&iblId=1045440&authToken=1019ec07ba1%7C7235be05bef2e3816c6fce4324 db7137&st=bn) as per SLO3L's post

expect to pay around $150 per pair (so around $300 set) for custom springs

if ur in sa and need someone to install lemme know and ill do a good deal

i will be getting custom rear springs in about 3 weeks when i get back from sydney

oh mate. its lower than you really think

front xmember is 6-7cm off the ground and the rear.. well my 15" ruibber JUST sits in the guard and i scrape my stock VRX muffler going down driveways

well you are on stockies which makes it worse.

Nice big rims and you can get over most things.
