Ive had cut springs since i baught my car, i just have an obsession with cars being low i dunno why, ive cut my springs so much i may as well not have any in there...
so ... i want to buy properly lowered ones, but.. is there anyway you can get them real low without cutting them? even super lows are to high...
i talkd to a lowrider place and they can cut my chasis so the stock height is hell low.. but its $1000
any ideas?

look in the yellow pagers for a custom spring shop. if your in brisbane i know aplace.

but basicly u need a progressive spring thats not gonna fall out and will sit the car LOW.

the dont cost to much more than a set of super lows.

doubt it.
that car is on the bump stops by the looks.

i ran on the bump stops for 2 years.
now i have superlows. and they sit the car 50mm from the bump stops. law says u have to have 100mm clearence to the ground from the lowest point of the car or 45mm clearance of the bumpstops. which ever comes 1st

you could chop out some of the meat from the bump stops too, thats always an option...(give u a bit more suspension travel)
