Well guys and girls, Just wanted to know what sort of suspension people are running and how low they are (post pics if you really want to). I'll be measuring tonight but this is a guestimate at the moment.


Front:
Lovell Superlow's
KYB Excel's
- 180mm+

Rear:
Lovell Low's
KYB Excel's
- 250mm+

Im stock at the moment but will lower in a couple o months......No cash...

:stoopid: damn so many things to do to a magna, lowering is prob 4-5th on the list, but im thinking just lows all round

on Kingsprings Superlow all round, a real comfy ride (on stock shocks) and a pimpin 2" drop all round, while still being able to get over speed bumps... **cough** Dee **cough**
Sorry no pics atm

Cheers,
Adz

Too Low??

Measured from the centre of the wheel nut to the wheel arch :340mm front 315mm rear.

From stock i think that is a 4.6cm drop at front and 2.5cm drop from back (not 100% sure)

I need to lower as well, im sitting stock.

Haha and you own a 3rd gen! This is the 2nd gen section.

lol, hey man, all are welcome!

Lovells lows all round with KYB shocks, handles beautifully, it's best set up for performance, sits flat on corners and not nearly as hard as I thought they might be
Are super lows legal???

its next on my list... 3" all the way around hopefully...

After paras n new Elite bumpers its on my list. Unless I can score some damn cheap springs from somewhere.

hey i brought superlows and cut a coil of each spring so im sitting about 80-90mm lower i would say lol i know its naughty to cut springs but ey. got bored

Not just naughty - it roots the spring so your car doesn't handle properly and its DANGEROUS. Bottoming out mid-corner means you'd go into a front-wheel slide.

I thought i'd be too low with superlow's but im atleast 150mm, will check properly once i find my tape measure though.

They're cheaper than parras! Keep checking the forsale section because they go cheap in there sometimes. I paid around $200 for the springs from Shawn from Philcom rally (That's pretty cheap!) To be honest.. A better spring-rate would suit me, i feel they are too soft. I'm not sure wether i could've stipulated a higher spring-rate or not but i can see myself getting a stiffer front set sometime not too far away. Oh and the low's are just not LOW ENOUGH! for the rear!

ahh my car handles like a dream man 0 body roll and doesnt bottom out or no wheel scrub :)

Mine hits the bump stops constantly, ****s me big time.

Did the measurements from the spigot to the arch. (From what i remember)

Front: 340
Rear: 380


So at the moment its sitting a little 'hotrod' style with the **** up and the front dooown. I want to fix that ASAP, maybe if my car was a drag car it would be good but asthetically it sucks ass.

Im on Kings superlows all round with stock shocks but i wanna go lower.
Initially i thought just superlows at the front and lows at the back now im thinking superlows all round. Only problem is my cat sits sooooo low and i also have mudflaps which will probably scrape everywhere i go.

I only get one scrape when i go over bumps i think its from the cat or exhaust manifold.

You can't buy superlow's for the rears which is why i could only go low's. I hope to get them reset soon enough so the car is freakin level. really ****s me how it sits.

The front of mine its 10.2 cms, never measured the rear..but yeah it hits everything.

It would with that ralliart front bar. Saw you going through Aspley last week. Nice car.

Wat and u didn't wave...you brisbane people are so stuck up...hahaha...jk..didn't see ya man...but i prob had a very 05XUL commodore close behind too.

Yours is much lower than mine in the rear, did you have people in the boot? :P

Mine sits at what I'd think to be stock height, but yours looks decent still.

What do you have in? Kings or Lovells or Dobinsons etc..?
