just about all e-series owners do just that in an attempt to make the car sit level.

I've got superlows all around and I don't think the car sits at an angle...I think it's pretty even after they are worn in!

your car willl always be higher in the back to allow for passengers and for a trailer. just put lows and the front and supers in the back if u want an even look. however i'd just put supers all round and cut one coil out the rear.

NEVER cut springs depsite all the debate about wether it does or does not affect the car adversely, BOTTOM LINE your insurance company will dis-own you when you may need them the most.

Also it is illegal according the law.

I've got stockies and the rear is almost 10cm higher than the back, lol. I think my car once had big rims on it cause it sits rather high, but everyone on here seems to have their cars lowered so i have nothing really to compare my stock ride height to.

Sorry to highjack the thread but can you get superlow coil-over suspension kits??
