Personally, I think the rear of the AU sits too high. I dropped the old EA on superlows and found it to be too low for speed bumps, etc. but my AU seems higher than the EA was on standard springs so it might be a little better suited to superlows

I'm running 15" stockies, so I won't get the scrub as bad as you I wouldn't think. Guards rolled is necessary with those size rims and camber kit too. I've heard lows don't require camber/rolling/lowered shocks (supposedly) so I'm probably going with them all-round as a cheaper option.

you will need superlows all round to get a noticable lowering on an xr6. they have low springs already.
