  1. Does anyone know what the factory sway bar thickness is for a BA XR6 sedan? just looking at getting some new bushes while I’m at work and don’t know what size to get. Few websites reckon 24mm
  2. Hello again Xr6 fam, (that was gringe I apologise) So for a while now I've had this weird squeak when turning. It mainly happens when I'm parking, so slow movement and when I'm on and off the brakes. It happens every now again if I'm turning from a standstill at a traffic light. I've been under the car, checked the upper and lower control arm bushes, and the radius arm bushes thinking it could be one of the culprits. I didn't notice anything bad with the radius arm and lower control arms but the upper arm bushes were completely toast on both sides. I replaced them with the superpro replacement arms (TRC1008) and also put in the camber adjustment kit from superpro too. The squeak it still there!! I've recently just taken the brake calipers off to inspect them and the rotors, the front rotors are probably due for a replacement soon, the lip at the edges is pretty deep. The rotors came off really easy! weren't stuck like they were on my brothers FG mk2 turbo, had to hammer the f*^%ers off. I did notice though that because they came off easy, they also could squeak a little when it wiggled them (this was with the brake calipers on). The squeak from this was a little different to the one I've been hearing but that could be because the load on them is different in both cases. Is this a common thing with falcons? I'm thinking I might replace the rotors and put some anti seize on the wheel hubs to see if it stops the squeak. Any other things worth giving a try? Also, what is a good indication that the radius arm and lower control arm bushings are flogged?
  3. Hey Lads, New to this site, looks awesome Just over 12 months ago I traded in my 2011 FG2 XR6 N/A in on a VF2 SS. Very bad decision and long story short I'm now back to a 2013 FG2 XR6 N/A. My old XR6 was an ex Highway Patrol in WA, which meant it was a tad lower than stock. I want my new XR6 to be the same as it was a good height for it to look good and just a bit different however it wasn't too low. I do a lot of country driving for work and one of the highways is terrible I think I'll bottom out if I get it too low. I have a feeling my old falcon was only lowered in the back however I remember I always had to go sideways down kerbs because the front would always scrape so I'm not too sure. I know it had king springs on it but I don't know if it had upgraded shocks too or not. My old one looked mean from the back and you could tell the difference between mine and a stock one quite easily. A setup I have been thinking about is the King springs Lowered EHD Coils KFRL-68SSLHD? without shocks just in the rear and leave the front? I think they're meant to be 30mm lower than stock? What you guys think? I would like to avoid the shocks if possible just because I'm not looking to spend heaps. Just chasing some advice on what the setup may have been and whether I do need to get shocks as well or not. Cheers Guys
  4. Hi, needing to get bushes done on my BA MKII XR6 Turbo. Been told so many things, what's best for comfort, best for handling etc. Needing opinions on what you have, why you went those particular bushes and your thoughts now. Any advice would be great
