I thought you can only get LOWS for the rear?

i got that from kings catelouge

the supper lows are at the very bottom

You will find Kings no longer make Superlows rears as they had ppl complain about hitting the bumpstops

the height drop for memory is 40mm in lows and 60mm in superlows

I have superlows in the front and lows in the rear. Ride Quality is not affected - i have 40 profile rubbers and these springs and it aint much more uncomfortable than stock with 15" 65 profiles - but it DOES feel a lot more secure on the road!!

Manual

Kings told me that the superlows are 50mm. The normal lows are 40mm and there are SP ones available with a 30mm drop. I've gone for the 30mm due to insurance.

Actually, If I was going to lower my car again, I'd probably only go for the LowSP model so i could keep the extra 10mm height for gutter climbing etc

C'mon Manual, ride quality suffers quite badly over standard :shock: :p

Mine is much more 'Choppy' from end to end, and the absorbsion rate of bumps is greatly reduced compared to standard.

The car does sit on the road and corner a whole heap flatter though and it is a trade of I am well and truely willing to accept ;)

i just got mine done with SL at front and L at rear... car looks sweet.... feels good to drive... little bit bumpy.. so u know your in a lowered car .. and handling is great... although i did also get monroe gt shocks aswell...

hmm maybe its cos i got mine - then i lowered it a few months later - then i got the wheels about 9 months later - so i can't really remember stock ride - though i have ridden stockies recently - and i don't think there is much difference - but maybe thats just me!!

Don't forget though that then you lower such high amounts as 60mm you are forgoing over half of your available suspension travel and so most bumps you hit will cause the car to bottom out. When the shocks bottom out the tyre will begin to slide since the shocks cannot compress any further. That is why F1 cars spin out so easily (because they don't have springs/shocks).

Thats exactly right.

Looking at the front springs in mine after a 60mm drop the coils have less than 5mm between them :shock: Not much Lee-way for damping bumps .

i just has my kingz in my 91 2.6 TR just 4 days ago
and i dropped it 50mm springs onlyand its not that much more eyecandy

50mm really make heaps of differece, and yeh u can corner so much harder

i really wouldn't lower it n e more, almost every time i turn my front bumper and flaps scraps on the ground making all this sound

the car is approx 150mm off the floor and it does the job.... i couldn't even get over the bumps at crown 2day without scraping soemthing

dont go more then 50, even tho its 1 cm diff
and dont forget about ur poor shockz, they are gonna get sore after a while
