Mines on ultra lows on Aufalcon.com with 20's and rebel rear bar. Mine is getting a set of (reset) ultralows in the rear this weekend. Got king spring to reset them another inch lower.

I never had ssl's on mine; I used kmac springs and left the original shocks. In saying that the ride was a bit bumpy but not what you would expect from a car so low. I was going to go with a bilsten coil over system as it would have made a massive difference in ride quality but never got around to do it. I have no idea how low I went with mine all I know is that I wanted the back guard sitting just inline with the rim and the front guard sitting just over the tyre. It was a bit too low but I loved the look it gave the car!! Cheers, Mick. |

I got wheels from Tempe Tyres (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/product...rt=&part_no=59) If you were wondering if it used to rub, well it did a bit on the inner plastic front guard but only when I used to turn the car on full lock. Other than that it was fine. |

how wide are your rims KRISTO, and did you have to modify the guards to make the wheels fit?

Russell's car = sexual chocolate.
Thanks KRISTO. Would you say it was worth getting 20's or if you could do it again, would you have settled for 18=19's?

20's were just for the show-off factor... i'd go 19's if i was going to change now... if it wasn't just a weekend car it would be on 17's or 18's. they just feel better to drive on.. 19's and 20's you just feel every bump...
