thanks for that, very insightful :D
Yeah Nick I measured the ride height as it is, stock, and its about 20cm off the ground. If king low's are 4cm drop, thats almost a quarter of the way down to the ground. A nice and safe 6cm away from the legal limit. Very speedbump friendly too
The top of the front tyres are about 8cm below the visible lowest point of the front arches, the rear tyre and arch have a 6cm gap. Going by these calculations, half of the space at the front gone and almost all of the space at the back would make for a phat look. I mean there are those cars that have their rears buried in the arches and the fronts only just scraping through, but I don't think its worth the pains associated with it.
Honestly no, I'm not really that serious about handling. I don't have that attitude towards cars. I'm happy with it being GOOD as opposed to being a fussy competitive bitch. Therefore I wouldn't really worry about factory springs being too soft as you reckon jamie. BTW getting lows as opposed to superlows would make it a more comfortable ride! My car is not a racecar. Its just my much loved Corolla :)
I mean, why have a really uncomfortable ride just to look good... thats pretty sad.
So yeah to sum it all up, at the moment king lows are looking the goods.
On another note, I've put the monroe GT gas shocks in the back of the car, I have to say it feels a LOT smoother and holds the road a LOT better. Keeping in mind I was driving with one shock completely disconnected before, but hey. Nah its definately an improvement and worth the money :D
