Default AUII XR6. Sitting too high on superlows?

Hi Guys,
I just thought I would get your opinions on my dads AUII XR6 Sedan. It is currently running King Springs Super Low Springs and Boge Short Strut Shockers.
We had always wondered if the rear was sitting too high being lowered but could never be sure if it was right.

Some opinions and suggestions would be very helpful.







Cheers,
Nath

yeah mate that looks about right

general rule of thumb, fronts on superlow & rears ultralow for a reasonable lowered height

Thanks guys, I always thought superlows sat a bit lower in the rear of au's.

Do you have any recommendations for a softer ride?

Here is a pic of my Series III XR6 sitting on King super lows, 340mm from centre of rim to guard lip front and rear on STANDARD XR6 Ford shock.

lowering is always a compromise the lower you go and the lower profile your tyres the harsher the ride
