You dont even need spring compressors, the super lows will be low enough that they'll only compress once the car is lowered off the jack.

Here is a picture as i promised of my car, i just got it back.

not a problem mate, the cars un driveable with the fronts in, so by the looks of it you cant really go more then 2.75" in the front.

So for ideal setup, you'd want 3.75" at rear, and 2.75" at front.

Well, superlows will drop the car enough to be able to tell, but their will still be a gap and i'd say a fairly big one at that all around the car..

My car is lowered 3.75" which is easily another 1.25" on what super lows are (thats minimum) and my rubber only 'just' sits in the car.

Drop them in and let me know?

Your allowed your own oppinion mate, im just providing first hand experience on something that was asked.

FYI the car handles better now then it did on pedders sports suspension before hand, not all skylines need coil overs, drift rims and massive gaps between the wheel and arch to handle good:)

you guys have lots of money to spend on tyres? I have King lows on my car and get wear on the inside of the tyres that reduces their life considerably...

as well with the 3.5" exhaust hanging underneath there is only about 90mm ground clearance

lastly, be careful your car isn't riding on the bump stops as doing this for a long period can crack welds in the chassis etc

however these points only really affect daily driven cars such as mine... I guess if your just going for cruises on the weekend then it should be okay

Below is a photo of mine with 2.75 lowered springs all round, It looked great but yes it was a bitch to drive and destroyed 3 sets of tyres in under 12000 km's so I opted for some cusco struts and hence have the four springs laying in the garage. My opinion is this, if you are a "every fifth weekend cruiser", go for it but for a daily or weekly driver, dont do it.

I had a threshold of about 1/2 hour before the rough ride started to piss me off and I just wished I was in my work ute.

by the way, the springs are for sale, pm offers.

    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
    • Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?
    • Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster
