Low vs Super Low

Postby threeRB » Mon Feb 18, 2013 2:04 pm

Hi guys,

I've got a 2006 (MY07) Spec B and am in the process of getting to lowered. Ideally, I would like the car to sit flush on the tire, low but classy low.
I have had a look through Lovells catalogue, and they do both Low and Super Low for my car. Approx ride height drops are:

Low = 25-40mm drop
S/Low = 45-65mm drop

Obviously hard to say without looking at the car, but do you guys have any experience/pics/advice you can give on selection.
Much appreciated,

Troy

If you want really low, get coilovers. You will have f**k all shock stroke/travel with superlow springs.
And to get the guard sitting at tyre level, you'd be looking ~50mm lowering.

And from what I understand, anything more than 30-35mm lower will compromise your handling for looks so be aware you will make the car handle worse just so it looks the way you want

Mine's about a 30-40mm drop (can't recall off the top of my head) and is plenty low:

Thanks mate - yeah no point dumping it, ruins handling and car will be very impractical.
