I think my front would've been close to taking out the lowest, but it just wasn't practical. I had to raise the spring seat and use spring compressors to put my superlows back in!! The tyre used to sit about 10-15mm under the front guard. Now it's even. I am going to get the springs reset for the back or chop a coil off.....

Well, as soon as my new shockers are in it should be low as low With standard shockers and kings superlows, lowest point of the car (not the exhaust or towbar) was ~7cm... The shocks were supposed to go in tonight, but the DOODLEHEAD at Repco ordered the wrong ones in, and tried to tell me they were right and wont re-order another set... so i've ripped my front strut out, and i'm gonna go and show him that they are the SAME cruddy shocks as what i have, not what I ordered. AARRGH!!! (new thread on this subject once i've posted this).

Anyways, give me 3 days and mine should be one of the lowest I would hope ;)

The springs and shocks had just been changed in this pic, so it's sitting a touch higher than normal. It's still slammed too.

With the 17's on it, it didn't scrub the front wheels either.

As of a few days ago, my car is now officially slammed The rear tyres (245/45/17) sit about 1.5" under the guard, and the fronts (same measurements) sit around 1.5" under the guards also. It looks about the same as Doug's EA at the rear (with no petrol or LPG in it) but the front sits a few inches lower. I need to get the front guards rolled, as it's scrubbing them whilst turning (starts at about half-lock either way), without even hitting any bumps :(

I'll take some pics after new years... The ED has under-gone, and is still undergoing a few little changes, and looks sh1tty at the moment, I'll report back once it's all done ;)

Anyone else having trouble with tyres scrubbing the guards??? It's not a nice sound, and it's gonna stuff my guards quick-smart as is...
