hey nickmaso, i dumped mine 90mm(well i think so , standard clearence=165mm for a exec,now its 75mm.)
standard shockes an king super lows nearly cut un half...i cut the bumpstops on the SHOCK in half also.
ride quality is still ok ..ut by no means at all good!
the shocks bottom outon roller coaster type bumps int the road sometimes but not nery often..tis the price you pay for bieng so low :badgrin:
it wont KILL your car ..only degade your ride quality...my advice ..get coilovers.mine should be in very shortly :badgrin: :badgrin: :badgrin:

My frienddid that to his car and drove it for a fortnite and the shocks broke at the base and all that was holding the diff in was Brake lines and tailshaft and a few bolts the car was crabbing and when braking it was like pulling on the handbrake. So my point is Be bloody careful while driving we dont wanna loose a member and add a road fatilty.

hahahahah this reminds me.. last night at uws parra uni car park (maybe has about 15 speed bumps when u gotta go in/out car parkings).. this dumped supra...not even clearnign 10mm i reckon, negotiating his was over about thse 5 speed bumps in a row...

was the fkin funniest **** ive ever see... i was stuck behind him.. but god damn was amusing watchin him go almost parralle to the humps... (very very diaganoal - shoulda drifted?) ... but man, then i had to like pull up next to him to leave the uni, i was still serverly chucking at this stage.. and im looking over, and hes full yelling at the passenger (who i presume was a mate that asked for a lift).. ahh

You're probably going too fast over the humps.

I've gone more then twice the speed of the signed speed limit at uni over the ramps in the multistory carparks in my old car and the car just bottoms out, I assume sparks fly everywhere when I do that too :P

i used to jump speed humps in mum patrol, it loved it, hits the ground and still has 6inches clearance

nice rims! very M3-ish! but honestly it doensn't look THAT low... should get some coil-overs! i'm sure they'd fit the Verada?

Yes we did something similar in a Prado. Theres a huge crest out back in whoop whoop that a mate used to live, and we at one stage went so fast over the crest that the Prado just went airborne. Mind you, the front suspension made noises afterwards, so we think we broke something :redface:
