I have kings superlow front, and low rear. It gives an even gap around the front and rear wheel arches. Look at the FAQ to see how much lowering u will get. Springs are about $250 for all 4 corners.

After doin a bit of resarch, it seemed Monroe sensatrac were too soft, Monroe GT were too hard. KYBs were just right. I forget what I paid for the shocks, money didn't matter at the time.

yeah id agree with anon there ...magnas are lower at the front so the lower u go the more the car looks un even .... i say get lows on the front and super lows on the rear ... or super lows on the front and compressed super lows on the back ( the later is which i am in the process of )

i changed my front springs to VRX springs and Munroe shockies after discovering first hand how it all works, how do you compress springs even further i dont get how its possible. ? once you release the compressors the spring just stretches out to the maximum the shocky will allow then when u put em back in the weight of your car compresses them, im confused >?

from what i know of it .... they heat up ur springs and then compress it let it cool and bingo an inch lower ....... though ive also heard compressed springs are almost as bad as chopped springs

you actually get a spring place to do it photoman

they heat the coils back up and tension it to a new height/rate

the ride is alot worse tho after compressing

^^^ what he said

I have recently thrown some Super low Kings springs in my trolley both front and rear and am happy with the result, the gaurd to tyre clearance is perfect front and back. It may be a little higher in the rear but that is just the stance of the car. Depending on what you want to do it may not hurt to have a litle more height in the rear anyway. You never know when you may have to pull a trailer or cart you girlfriends fat mate's in the back. Just my opinion.

FYI, there's some rears on Ebay.........

king superlows front, lows rear (might want to compress these down the track a lil)..

KYB shocks all round.. makes suspension stiffer but still comfortable..
