Perhaps another part of the thread could be how big are your rims and tyres under your low E-series.

I have 18x9s running 235/40 and 275/35-18s and haven't seen another as low running these sizes around Bris.

Dont have a recent pic, perhaps Rayman got a good one in Canberra.

Heres my Effie... http://www.blinksy.com/DSCF0075.JPG

I would say i have the lowest feature on the car, as the dickheads who made the dump pipe and 3 inch exhaust didnt think it would hit....

Well, Cant get over a speed bump without bending the exhaust manifold(or killing turbo).... So i have to reverse atm, and go the long way, or go home lol

getting fixed next week. Idiots... But hey, once thats sorted, how do you guys get it lower.. Ive got super lows all round, and a sub in the boot... but id like a half inch up the front, and an inch out the back... Whats the best way?? Is there certain shocks that make it sit lower?

That looks nice there boostdef, I would like an extra inch off my rear end too. Ive got my front end sitting how i'd like it, but the back just seems too high. Would be good to find out whats best to get that little bit lower.

I've got tailshaft issue too, it used to be really bad until i went to industrials and got some custom springs made. Now it rides really low and because the springs are so thick the ride is a bit bumpy but it doesn't hit the tailshaft...
