Default wanted: lowered EF/L pictures!

Lowering the EF again next week, not sure what to go for, so can you post up pics of your car and details of which suspension components your running..

Cheers guys!

Not true. BI6TIM swapped his superlows for ultralows to drop his car a little more. For 6cyl falcon EA-EL the king part number for superlow is KFFL-26SL/KFRL-27SL and the ultralows are KFFL-26SSL/KFRL-27SSL

I was told by a parts seller guy that SSL was super super low, and "ultra low" are the SSSL (not sure how dumped, but these are "barely above bump stops" springs). I have seen these, but so far only for commodores.

basicall ultra lows are super super just people call them different things even though as said before in the book it is listed as KFFL-26SSL/KFRL-27SSL ssl meaning super super
when i brought my springs they didnt have the listing in the book for it only super lows so i had to ring and enquir about them hope that help

Do you find when you go to full lock, or when turning that the tyres rub against the front guards? My mate has put superlows in his ef, and he had to get the guards flaired becuase he had major issues with the tyres rubbing.

THe thing I hate about lowering a car is how easy it is to ruin your. My brothers xf ghia has been lowered 3" and he can never enter the driveway. or go over a speed hump without scraping. Don't you guys thinks it gets to a point were it is over the top?
