Default Info on springs

I have Pedders sports Rider in my car now
but wanting to go lower so im thinking say king lows in the front and super lows in the back. I think this should even the ride height up so it looks better. Does this sound like the right setup. Any suggestions

Cheers

Why do you want the front sticking up in the air?

Superlows all round

I'd check prices on Whiteline springs before committing to King. I might be worth the extra, I don't know.

I'd go King superlows all around. The lows will barely make a difference if you already have sports ryder springs. I've tried many types of suspension setups in my car and the best I've found is Pedders SportsRyder front struts with King Superlows, and Pedders Comfort Gas rear shocks with Superlows. Don't use Superlows in the front with Monroe GT Gas or Standard shocks or you will lose most of your suspension travel. The Pedders have a lower spring land which lets the car sit the same height but keep some travel.

just be wary of your bodykit if you go lower, im sure you dont want to damage the kit.

Don't get too excited, i had ultra lows in my EF (they will be going in the EB soon hopefully) and they aren't that much lower than super lows, 10mm if your lucky, i still wanted the EF lower......

toby123 your exactly right, ultralows are 1cm lower if your lucky. Pully6 - Don't let the name fool u. If you wanna go lower than that, break out the angle grinder.

Thanks heaps for the help
I am getting King superlows tomorrow.
Saw the suspension Fellow today and we measured it and it should drop a further 25 mm all round. If it dosent sit level he is going to have King reset the springs to the height that i want.

Cheers
