Very simple question but i was a bit unsure about it.

Ive basically got super lows in my car at the moment but its not really low enough, ive also still got the stock shockies in there.

Just wondering if i can get shorter show and will that lower it more.

And if i can what should i be lookin at paying and what brand.

Thanks all.

shocks wont lower your car, just make the ride stiffer..

if u want to lower it further, get your springs compressed or look into coilovers or something.

Since you have already got it on super low springs I would suggest coilovers as the next step - the adjustability will allow you to change the height

^^This is the idea

Although if u've already got super lows on, u wanna be careful about going too low and bottoming out the car on humps or even uneven road bits etc.

Well they are actually lows but have had a bit of modification done to them, and the spring neally falls out of the strut when not compressed back down in the guard.

So basically there is no such things as shorter shocks.

Ill be getting coilover some day soon but i thought if i could get shorter shocks and it would make it that little bit lower then id do that as a cheaper alternative.

In that case save your pennies and get coilovers.

Trust me! lol

If you are going that low you should get new shocks anyway. But yeah either get your existing springs compressed some more or get coilovers.
