Just picked up a set of 4 King superlows for the XR8. How much lower will the car sit with them fitted?, also will the shockers need to be replaced?

It will look like mine basically. Even though I have SSL in the rear it never really dropped all that much different to the SL's.

Lows/factory XR end up around 665mm from the ground to the underside of the guard lip.
SLs end up around 645 to 650 SSLs around 635. Stock height varies from AU1 to AU3, but anywhere between 680 and 710 is "normal"

It will look like mine, but maybe a bit higher in the back as i have the gas tank which makes it sit a little lower at the rear then the front!
Im starting to feel the ride it's bumpy as all hell n my shockers were fine before i had put the King Springs SL in! So it's up to u, but maybe u could get either air suspension or air lift shockers! Cheers Simon PS: Did u find those clear repeters? |
