SL's look great, just remember it's possible some speed bumps could become difficult.

I have superlows in mine.

They are far too low, but they are in there now, so I'll live with them.

Superlows in the rear and lows in the front gave mine a nice level ride, looks lowered but not to the extreme

Im taking my springs out and replacing just with "Lows", cuz it is just too low..

So much hassles getting in and out of places, especially when I haven't been there before.

It does look ****** sweet tho, and the sub box in the boot make it look awesome.. just not convenient. I never have anyone in the back seats, cuz it just would not work!

If your on superlows at the moment and it's that bad, I still think Low's would be too low. Are you using Kings? I have a feeling King superlows may actually be physically lower than other brands "superlows".

I am also looking at dropping mine abit sometime in the future, but still want to be able to drive on country roads with 4 people in the car and not have it bottoming out --- had this problem in my EB2 with King SL in the Rear and King Low in the front combined with ultima shortened shocks riding on 15" turboblades. I might just go with standard XR8 height this time around - any idea what the equivelant King / Lovells height for this is?

TBH i have nfi what are currently on the car Havent changed them since i bought it 3 years ago. It sat much prettier back then It has sunk a fair bit over the years. I have seen photos of AU's with King Lows and they look like 4wd height compared to my current ride, lol. (I cant fit my hand between the tyres and the top of the wheel arch, especially at the rear)
So, i'm kinda hoping for half way between
I have a great deal of trouble parking at underground carparks, especially those at some hotels/apartments down the coast and wollongong, which i frequent often and put a hole in my muffler a couple years back at Liverpool shopping centre when going to the top carpark level to goto the movies :(

I'm over it!

No gas tank.

Not the best shot, but you get the idea

yeh poelwyk iv got 16" with kings super lows f+r gas tank and live axle.
im pretty right with speed bumps if im not stupid, its not fully level tho... can tell front is slightly higher than the rear.. I cant fit my hand between the tyre and the top of the wheel arch at the rear and fronts is about 2cm from tyre to wheel arch at front.. DONT get ultras in the rear, mine was illegal with them and i dont have sub in the back.
