You dont even need spring compressors, the super lows will be low enough that they'll only compress once the car is lowered off the jack.

Here is a picture as i promised of my car, i just got it back.

not a problem mate, the cars un driveable with the fronts in, so by the looks of it you cant really go more then 2.75" in the front.

So for ideal setup, you'd want 3.75" at rear, and 2.75" at front.

Well, superlows will drop the car enough to be able to tell, but their will still be a gap and i'd say a fairly big one at that all around the car..

My car is lowered 3.75" which is easily another 1.25" on what super lows are (thats minimum) and my rubber only 'just' sits in the car.

Drop them in and let me know?

Your allowed your own oppinion mate, im just providing first hand experience on something that was asked.

FYI the car handles better now then it did on pedders sports suspension before hand, not all skylines need coil overs, drift rims and massive gaps between the wheel and arch to handle good:)

you guys have lots of money to spend on tyres? I have King lows on my car and get wear on the inside of the tyres that reduces their life considerably...

as well with the 3.5" exhaust hanging underneath there is only about 90mm ground clearance

lastly, be careful your car isn't riding on the bump stops as doing this for a long period can crack welds in the chassis etc

however these points only really affect daily driven cars such as mine... I guess if your just going for cruises on the weekend then it should be okay

Below is a photo of mine with 2.75 lowered springs all round, It looked great but yes it was a bitch to drive and destroyed 3 sets of tyres in under 12000 km's so I opted for some cusco struts and hence have the four springs laying in the garage. My opinion is this, if you are a "every fifth weekend cruiser", go for it but for a daily or weekly driver, dont do it.

I had a threshold of about 1/2 hour before the rough ride started to piss me off and I just wished I was in my work ute.

by the way, the springs are for sale, pm offers.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
