gday fellas im new here n to the whole e series with ma ed wagon
well my first order of business was to give it a meaner stance but i was lookin at the front n think that super lows (2.5") is gonna be too low for everyday drivin coz its my work horse also. im definatly goin 3" lowerin blocks at the back coz it sits so high with these fats on but just wonderin how any of your cars do lowered either way n also did you guys get a camber kit or shouldnt i bother if its goin to be 1.5" lower also is redback exhaust make it sound nice n throaty want a deep rumble cheers guys |

camber kit if you gonna lower is a good idea... redback exhaust nice..
superlows will see you scraping some speedhumps in general, dependin on the car, and if you have a kit, 50 times worse, especially with driveways...

i'd say superlows myself.
the scrapage issue seems to be completely dependant on the car. i've seen and been in plenty of cars with superlows that don't scrape at all unless its a very bad drivewya.

i would say lows, being a work car i would rather driveability rather than looks.
also if you want the low rumble get the rear resonator taken out when you get the redback exhaust. trust me you will never go back...

gotta disagree, had without resonator, guy suggested puttin it in, put it in and it sounds better IMO.. cleaner and still loud as anything..
would be dependant on extractors, cam, etc...

Another vote for superlows. I have them and if you drive your car like a lowered car, ie slow down for spoon drains, humps etc, it doesn't scrape.

Depends on insurance as well. My insurance wont allow more than 30mm from stock.
But, I may go Just Car insurance, and go lower! +1 for superlows. Gubas
