Default Superlows + bodyKit?

OK. My ED has lows on it at the moment, but I was wanting to swap over springs from my EB to superlows, Its not on right now, but I have a bodykit which I will be putting on. It consists of EB GT rear Bumper, GTHOFAN's Front bumer (modded GT bar) and these big skirts that I have but Have NO idea what they are, but look awesome

Basically what I wanted to know was, what will clearance be like with superlows as opposed to the lows? Will my kit scrape everywhere?

Post a pic of your car on lows would help for starters............

looks pretty raised, go the suprelows. when you have the kit on you just have to be more carefull with how you park, thats all.

Should be OK for clearance, my car has the MMM kit and superlows in it (the front has a lower spring seat tho). Haven't had a problem with the rear scraping, but my front is Ultra low spec and even with the limited time my car was on the road i've managed to scrape the bejesus out of it...

I'm using V8 superlows on the front end of my 6, didnt want the hassle/damage of normal superlows on my EF cozz of my body kit. Sits between normal Lows and normal SL's.

I'll get some more piccies up in an hour or so cause you cant really see the height there cause of the grass.

I'll leave the lows on until black spur and yeah

My car is running lows and lowered front shocks, I can get away with mostly not scrapping but only by the smallest of margins, I have to idle in and out of my driveway to avoid scrapping, overall though i am happy with the amount of times I dont scrape ... lol

My front tyres sit just at the guard by the way.
