Superlows wont be "legal" as such, but alot of people will tell you that they dont get much attention.

Browse through the members rides section, looking for people with superlow kings and see if they have pictures up, its what i did.

i got lows all round with 17's and the ride height seems to be fine. as for looks, the back is fine but i would go for super lows for the front just to make it sit nicer. at the moment i still think it looks to high at the front.

Superlows at the front, Lows at the back. Ive got lows in the front, and yes, it is humiliating when someone tells you that you should lower the front of your car, and you already have lows in there.

I ran ultra lows front and superlow rear, looks good :)

For handling though, i'd run low rear, superlow front.

There was no travel with ultralows, every bump in the national park sent a massive shock through the chassis because it bottomed out, I still think my shocks were dead though, unless you shorten your struts and do it properly, meh. Do you really want to go that far?
