I just put SSL (Ultra/SSL = Same) on my BA rear, and SL in the front. The SSL does ride on the rear bump stops, so we just cut the end off the bumpstop with a jigsaw... not the tool of choice, but it did the job. I have the shorterned bump stops in the front so no issue there.
Hopefull changing Shocks aswell!? |

More and you start pushing the limits of the CV joints in the tail shaft and half shafts. Hope you're not one of those idiots who want a car so low, that it skips and jumps across the road, loosing any handling advantage a proper lowering spring/shock combo may have given.

They're actually there for a reason - they form part of the spring rate - which is why they're so long stock. Get shorter bump stops, they keep doing the same job for lower heights. SuperPro do a set.

I put mine on super lows all over, two months later cut a coil and a half out of the front springs and compressed the rear springs another 40mm. sits very very low but is still ok to drive just have watch speed bumps and tyres hitting the front guards while turned out if you hit a curb too fast
