Had my ute lowered today had originally asked for lows but because its a XR6 king springs catalogue lists super lows as lows for the XR6. So when I picked it up it was alot lower than I wanted when I got home drove into driveway and the tyre caught on the guard pulling the lip down out of shape is this a common problem when running super lows. Do others have this problem.
Thanks Mike |

My guards were rolled by the panel shop who were doing a few other little jobs for me.

Rolled, most wheel/tyre/suspension places can do it for you

Thanks for the replies guys. rang the place who fitted the springs yesterday told him I wasn't happy with it being so low & that I HAD told him I didn't want superlows as I am a tradie and sometimes have to drive onto building sites he told me to bring it back & he would change the springs over to lows at his expence as that was what should have put in in the first place; so I'm pretty happy now can't complain to much about their service; admitted they'ed made a mistake and fixed as quick as pos
