DOBI Super Lows

Hi guys and girls,

Just purchased some DOBI Super Lows for my car and I hear that they are pretty damn low... now I am wondering what I have got myself into!

Do you think ya'll could post up some pictures of cars with the superlows fitted so I can get some idea.

Thanks!!

I just scrape, whatever's scraping will wear out, and eventually it'll stop.

Have been told it will drop about 45mm so wont even tuck the tires as far as I can see...
Avoiding bayfair and the strand is no problem, I'm not much for cruising... Now all I have to do is avoid the neverending potholes we have springing up around here lately!!

Cheers all!

45mm is bugger all, you will be wanting it to drop more..

I just put some 35mm TEINs in my EF and I hardly notice the drop, still get 2 fingers under the rears...although I do have to allow for Sagg



Good luck

heres a pic of Danielles civic with the super lows in it. They dropped abit more after a day driving. Low in back but high in front. A b18c will fix that with a bit of extra weight

all this talk...

i got my 35/40mm TEINs in while I did my swap....

It was a Go-Kart prior, so I am damn keen to drive it to see how much better it is ops: Probably more so than the extreeeme Vtak qualitie my car will now offer.

*sniff*

ahh well, best start saving to drop it in to mates work for diagnosis
:wink:
