Welcome to the forums mate, youve got a great starting base. 1st mod should be dumpage, then do the exhaust.

Looks great!! Grab a front lip to go with the rest of the kit, lose the rear spoiler and slam it on the ground :P

Welcome adam, Id dump it before I got an exhaust as I had problems with my exhaust hitting on the diff after I lowered it but thats just an opinion. Looks tidy, love the ef mont front.. its one of my plans for my gli. Any plans to get bigger wheels?

Helps if you have a mate that can lower it for you also... of course :) . A mate lowered mine for $50 which I said was way too cheap so I gave him $150 and he gave me $50 back :?. I supplied the springs and camber kit.

Agreed, I have superlows with stock shocks and Id have a good bet and say we have some of the worst roads in Australia here and its fine.. I probably wouldnt go Ultralows on a daily here but for a weekend car.. sure!

I put ultralows in the rear of my EL to give it a more level look becasue it sat higher at the back, needed shortend shocks but and they wernt that pricey anyway so i got shortend ones for the front which are superlows, with ultra's in the rear its not too low to drive around town doesnt scrape on speedhumps and driveways ect. its pritty flat country around here so no steep driveways or anything though.. havent been on a highway yet with it lowered either :?

yeh its easy as to change the back end, i think it was $130 (not 100% sure because i got em 25% off and that brough it down to $103) for a rear set of kingspring ultras and the same for supers so if the ultras are too low for ya just flog em off and use the money to buy sum supers there only like $130 ;)
