I pretty sure King Spring Super Lows lower your car 50mm
I have King Spring Lows on my car and its only about 30mm.
I am pretty sure Super Lows are 50mm. Can somone confirm this?

That's not exactly accurate. I rang OzzyTyres looking for a 1.5" drop and the guy on the phone said they can't do 1.5", only 1" or 2", nothing inbetween. So "any height any car" in their advertising is bullshit.

hmmm ozzy tyres and tempe tyres are kinda the same i think.. and they were both the same price
and they do do custom springs using kmacs, king and some other brand that i cant remember...
just be careful... i asked for 2.75 inches at tempe tyres and they came back 4.5.. so then i had to get them out and i got them reset at 3 inches...and they will be pricks about it if they make a mistake and say you wanted it like that

be careful with places that state "any car any height" sort of thing. spring manufacturers generally only make certain hieghts unles you get customs. these places that say any height often compress the springs to achieve the height which results in incorrect spring rate for the ride height. often results in crappy ride and poor handling

So are you suggesting that OzzyTyres could be dodgy? Their prices are pretty cheap for supply and fit of Kings.

dont know about them. but i know king spring only make 3 standard heights and thats what gets used in the cheaper deals. if you want a custom hieght you'll need custom springs, which king spring do but at a price. so basically not really sure how ozzy goes about it but personally i wouldnt go with compressed springs
