Just wondering how low some people have gone, what supension they're using and how much it robs you of pracitality.I live in Townsville and there's a few spots around town that I wont be able to go if I go too low. I was thinking the ebay monroe/king spring superlow kit for around $730.Need help !!!

Looks alright and very rarely scrapes any where at all. I wouldn't go any lower if you don't want it to scrape everywhere.

I still manage to scrape the odd curb when parking, but I reverse park whenever possible.SL's in my car sat lower than in others, so maybe that maybe a factor too..

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 02/05/12 06:02 AM Share Posted 02/05/12 06:02 AM ine seemed to do a fair bit of scraping when std, so WTF. I put it where it seemed to handle best on the road.Fr 340mm ride heightR 345mm ride height.Ride height is done from the hub center to the center of the guard lip.330mm will see the rear lower control arms are @ level. And you shortened bump stops riding them.Going below that you are going out of the bounds of components to get a decent wheel alighnment too.

Scar92 Member 52 Member For: 13y 11m 5d Gender: Male Posted 02/05/12 06:20 AM Share Posted 02/05/12 06:20 AM I have compressed ssls in the front and sl Late model camira springs in the back. On 18s lowest point of the car is about 70mm. I take driveways/speedbumps on an angle and can tackle most without scraping. Very stiff ride and I wouldn't have it any other way Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79984-how-low-can-you-go-how-low-are-you-and-how-practical/#findComment-1230585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
