crusin EB is that lows on front and superlows back?
the reason why i am doing this is that IMO havin lows on the front will reduce the need for a camber kit/lowered struts.
Also originally my car is prob 3cm lower at the front than the back so lowering the front 3cms will bring it in line or make it sit just above the 6cm from superlows.

but if you put superlows in the back and lows in the front you risk having the back sitting lower than the front which doesn't look too great... have a look at all of the cars with superlow springs front and rear its definately the way to go

go for super lows, they look great coz the rear sit's lower than the front so it gives it that awsome tucked look. and there is nothing illigal about that on a EA-D, i had mine roadwothyed striagh after i got them.

well i have had my ea for 2 months now, still aint lowered, still 4x4 specs, my fav comb which will happen very soon is superlows front and back with au xr8 17's or 18's on them, my beast is silver so it looks sick bro. however my mechanic said he can lower tha back of mine using the self leveling suspension, he said if u just let air out its , but theres some adjustment he can make to the shockers to make it low, which means when traveling with load u can switch on the elec pump and put some more air in it, and it still sits the same, just firmer.

I got superlows all the way round and it sits pretty level, maybe a fraction lower at the back, looks sweet as. If i were you i would not do a combo unless you wanna look like a homo VL driver with 4x4 on the front and *** draggin along behind on a pair o' stockies...IMHO

yeah mate just get super lows all round, it will look all out of whack with the front higher than the rear. It'll sit at the top of the tyre with 17's and superlows in the rear, the front depends on what struts you use. If you use something like pedders sports ryder it will sit lower than if you use monroe GT gas or std shocks.
