Default super lows vs ultra lows

Just wandering how much lower ultra lows are compared to super lows. will my car still be legal with ultra lows in it. Has anyone got some pics of a car with ultra lows so i can see how low it sits.

Technically i don't think even superlows are legal (if you go by the 1/3rd height or whatever it is)..

My car doesn't look all that low with superlows, but it scrapes on anything and everything! I'd love to put ultra lows in it, but practicality over ruled.

Superlows are for SHOW USE ONLY! thats what the bloke repeatedly told me when I bought em. He was a real ****er :P

And yeah, I'm sticking ultralows in my front end ASAP, I'm not happy with the height from superlows.

yep...i reckon go the ultralows.
I got superlows THEN i got 18 inch rims and now it dont look that low at all
wot ****es me off is that i only bought the s/lows a month ago ..now i have to go and get ultras(and worry if theyll be ok)
so,if anyone lives in perth and wants almost brand new superlows for about 250 bucks write me back!(v8 s/lows up front by the way)
