superlows are the go mate at the front and lows rear itll sit nice and low
approx 45mm lower at the front and 30mm at the rear, i recommend it
check some some other threads for mine and other cars that have been lowered like this

cheers

I had Eibachs on my car but the drop was not very much at all. I bought a set of Dobbinson's from another board member from a Diamante Forum here in the US and I had them installed today. I love the way they look, I figure they will settle a bit since they are new and look even lower.

Only complaint is that I gave up just a BIT of handling by giving up the Eibach's. It's noticeable when taking high speed turns like when driving down a highway on ramp.

I'll live though, I love the lower stance these give the Diamante. I got the superlow spring for the front and the rear was a low spring. Now I do not know if the Diamante's original ride height is the same as a Verada but these were supoosed to drop the ride height by 75mm from the STD height. That's according to their website.

Just fitted King lows (kcfl42SP, kcrl43SP) 30mm lowered springs to tj. Dropped about 24mm at the front and approx 13mm at the rear. Possibly didn't go down as much at rear as I suspect rear springs may have sagged a little (as prev owner towed with the car).

See the pics in general section I have just posted (before and after). While some may prefer the car lower, retaining standard shocks keeps a very nice ride, no scraping either.
