God i feel like i spam the 2nd gen thread...
Anyway,
Just curious what the stock ground clearance is on a KS. Legal minimum is 100mm and im looking into lowering, just want to make sure :D
Thanks!

I'm 99% sure that if you slap a set of king lows on it you'll still be running at a legal height dude.
Well, Brian you seen my car the other day... The arse end is slammed by 80mm and its still 120mm off the ground! So I think you'll be find on Lovell Superlows.

stock ground clearance on a 2nd gen is about 5km. even if you went retarded like we did with mine, it would still be at about 80mm

Dean just remember a 3rd gen underbody differs from a 2nd gen heaps. I've got mine on superlows up front and compressed low's at the back and I hardly scrape on anything, I still scrape, but higher 3rd gens will scrape on the same inclines etc.
Low's will be fine, But you'll wanna go lower...

i think its auora or something like that. They make jade coloured springs i beleive. Pretty average price but i beleive the benefit is you can ask for a specific drop, i remember the ad even stating up to 100mm drop. On the rear of a 2nd gen 40mm lower will only just be captive in the spring seat on the shockie. You can go lower on the springs but i would definatley go stiffer then most aftermarket items.

Dobinsons is the name.
K-Mac do custom springs as well. I've heard that King Springs will make custom springs but I couldn't find any info on their website to confirm it.

They do but as you will see in the forsale section, mant are removing them and replacing with lows
Is not so much ground clearance, it is the lack of suspension travel that is the issue with super lows
