Would king spring super lows (fronts) and lows (rear) on the tj VRX drop the ride height below legal (100mm) standards?

Anyone who's done this please let me know before i fork over the cash :bowdown:

No-one up here in newy has done the kings YET so i'm looking for some info!

I don't believe it will cause a problem. Also, see here (http://www.wermspowke.net/wiki/index.php/Suspension_And_Handling#Ride_Heights)

Do a search for AussieMagna's VR-X - I lowered that on Kings Superlows Front and Low's rear - and I think the front bar is just under 100mm off the ground - its low!!

10cm at the front with kings? no way! Mines lowest point 11cm at the sideskirts just behind the front wheel. Extractors sit at around that aswell. Front though is definately 12-13cm lowest point.

Getting up driveways at 10cm off the ground is easy.. I was doing it at 9cm without scraping :D

going back to having car around 7-8cm off the ground in a few weeks :D

Ive just done Kings Low all 'round on my TJ VR-X and it looks low enough for me! Had the low/super low combo in my KF Verada previously and to honest I prefer the lows..... rides nicer and sits well on the road. Will post up a pic or 2 when ive washed it, weathers been awful here the last few days.....

:rant: Ok, I done it today to my TJ “SI” with original 16 "alloys. My cars look improved 100% but comfort dropped 200%. Now I’m sorry that I done it, coz I can feel all smallest holes and bumps on the road. What they fitted is –Front King Springs KCFL- 42 SL, Rear Kings KCRL -42, “Eyebrow” measurements are from centre of the wheel * Front 37 cm, *Rear 36, 5 with full tank. Car in the middle (between doors) is siting 19 cm from the ground. Ah.. and tyres are Furenza 225x55x16 95W. Now if any one can tell me which shocks can set perfect or good comfort I’ll be thankful. :)

King springs don't make superlows for the rear.. they used to but had too many problems with the car bottoming out and hitting the bump stops.

Sorry about the poor grammar/spelling. I don't really check what I've wrote after clicking the submit button.

What if you get stiffer shocks, would that get rid of the bottoming out?
