  1. Yeah there's only Super Lows for Kings.

    On Kings, no issues what-so-ever with the stock (17") wheels rubbing so no rolling or flaring. Can't find any photos of mine but surely someone on here has shots of an aurion with King springs on stockies (17") and on 19". On 17s, rear tire was tucked in just a bit and front was maybe an inch of gap.

    I only had the issues with Kings and 19" as the rears are 9.5" wide on a stupid offset. Looked mint but a shredded tire not so much. Since yours are only 8", I can't see it scrubbing on anything unless your offset pushes it way out to the guards.

  2. Yeah I used to have the King springs, nice ride still and not a pain in the a** to drive around. On the stock wheels it was a nice drop with no issues, but once I went with 19x9.5 rears it started scrubbing like a b*tch.

    I now have coilovers and dropped a fair bit lower. Body currently sits about 70mm off the ground. I have 19x8.5 on the front which only scrubs on larger bumps. The rear at 19x9.5 also scrubs on big bumps, even with no-one in the back. Passengers in the back = LOTS more scrubbing. I also have silly offsets on the wheels which push the wheels right out to the outer edges of the guards but yours look fine in the pics.

    That is with all 4 wheel arches/guards rolled, and the rears flared out too. Tires are also stretched a bit. You MAY need to get your guards rolled but that's relatively cheap and easy, see how you go.

    Problems: stupidly low for a daily, some speedbumps are simply not gonna happen, driveways unless almost flat = forget it, front bumper is a lot lower than car park curbs = know the length of your car lol. BUT, on the King springs didn't really have any of those issues.

  3. What are you going to lower it with? Springs or coilovers? Coilovers at least allow adjustment of height but obviously a couple more $.

    Given that you've gone for 19x8 I don't think you'll run into many (if any) issues at that height. Mine is lower and sitting on wider wheels so sometimes scrubs a bit on the wheel (plastic) arches.

    Risks? entry/exit angles of driveways, speedbumps, the boys in blue etc... Not sure what your rules in QLD are but in VIC the lowest part of the car has to be above 100mm. I don't know what dropping the car 50mm will reduce the height to.

  4. And such a good chop it was too! I do quite like the yellow headlights, not sure the po-po would agree though...

    I'm sure that's what the police would be most worried about...

    Lol. Well as far as things in that pic that I would be likely to do, that was about it... ;)

  5. So finally pulled the air suspension outta the toaster last weekend... It feels so weird driving on lowered springs again....

    Also pulled the entire stereo out... Now I need to wire all the factory speakers/sub back in....

  6. I don't have a vid, but once you press down on the lid, it should release the lid and rotate open by itself till it's straight up and down and tucks into the center console. If the lid doesn't fully retract it will definitely obscure the cup holders.

    Does yours open by itself or are you manually lifting the lid? If it's only going halfway or something, maybe the spring which pulls the lid open (at varying speeds on different cars) is broken or stretched.

    But if you can't manually pull it fully open then something must be jammed.

    Hope that can help in the absence of a video.
