Hey kids!

Im'a pick up a set of king spring lows or superlows to tie me over.

What do people recommend.. I heard there isn't much travel before the bump stop with the super low, so handling = ****ed.

But I heard the superlow looks pretty cool!

Also they scrape etc etc

A fair few people seem to recommend lows, easier to deal with, legal, good handling, etc.

I want everyones view here

Thanks

Ive got lows but wish i had of bought superlows every single day.


lows arent low at all superlows would of been perfect still not dumped but at a height still manageable. ( obviously still need caution on drives etc).

kind springs dont give very good handling at all, they are quite soft.

Lows and Superlows have the same spring rates I believe..

I don't want to buy lowered shocks then coilovers a few months later, i'd rather just go springs for now.. And keep the extra for coilovers

I think I'll go superlows..

In that case, don't buy springs now. Buy coilovers in a few months time.

Yeah,better of waiting for a good set up.I will be buying K Sport coilovers for $1000.JasonGilholme and alexx have them and say they are great,heaps of dampening control and height adjustment offcoarse.
I have king lows now with stock struts.Needs to be lower at the rear,the front is perfect because it's still quite soft i.e.bounces a fair bit...
A good combo would be lows and the front and superlows at the rear.I read on here someone had that set up and I thought that would be perfect.Looks a good drop,comfortable ride but handles pretty shit.

The reason why your lows are bouncy now, is because your damper is not working in the optimum range. If you get lowered dampers, then the handling would come back. :) Let us know how you go with the KSport.
