XR-6000: i wouldn't have guessed your car was on ultra lows.
it doesn't seem that low.

looks awesome at that height, its about where i'd have my car, but i'd have expected a little lower from ultra lows.

True...very true. It is a bit weird how it isn't that low. It does depend on the type of incline I park on, but as seen by the photo just a few post's above, the ground is fairly level. That's why I was saying on page one that I want to cut a coil out of the rear springs to make it sit a touch lower. If I get it around the height of john_xr6 it will be sweet.

hey xr-6000 how long exactly have you had the springs for?. They should come down a bit more once the springs have been worn in. Unless of course you have had them for a while, then id think ultralows are the way to go!!.
