hotbits is custom made too so you tell how you want it and they can do it and it has helper sleeve and only $80 rebuilds per corner includes installation and testing for 2 years really good deal

hotbits custom make

so where as the other manufacturers would start at stock ride height and then turn down hotbits can start at lowered height and then turn down which makes it go much lower so long as your guards allow for it

apexi anyone?

What about King lows or superlows, anyone out there with pics of those.

Mines going down on King lows tomorrow, just wanted to see if i've decided on the wrong springs.

Starting to think I should have went with superlows.

Was very undecisive as i'm riding on 18's.

Thanks C-Rolla

Greatly appreciated.

If mine comes down to that height i'll be happy.

Currently it got more than double that clearance from the top of the tyre to the wheel arch.

Thanks again for the pic!

With 18's I'd definatley stay with Kings Lows. With super lows you'll have a harsh ride and your wheels depending on offset etc will scrub and touch on the innergaurd and on lock etc. More trouble than it's worth :(

C-ROLLA & SILVABULLIT,

Thanks for the advice. I think it will be ok on the lows.

Your right about the superlows though, with 18's it will be like a go-kart.

I didnt spend all that money on a new car so shoot my ride to s#!t.

I'm getting the job done tomorrow afternoon, i'll be sure to post up some pics over the weekend!

Thanks again guys.

I have taken some measurements, the stock 05 sportivo has a gap of 70 mm from guard to tyre on the front and 80 mm on the back. Lowering it 40 mm would give you obviously 30 for the front and 40 for the back, perhaps lower after the springs set in, so being quoted for $280 for whiteline springs and $600 for eibach shockers installed, all up $880 installed, thats not a bad deal.....what do you guys reackon???

I know how much you like to wiggle you bum, but probably a good idea to see if they can throw in a whiteline rear swaybar into the package as well.

Hehehe i know what you mean :) that was in the old car, those crazy days are over :unsure: . Im getting the front strut brace for 70, its from a zz122 it should fit the 123R. Anyhow, does anyone know the Outside Diameter of the front strut??

Is it 45mm or 51mmm.Cheers guys.
