September 28, 200422 yr #1 On Sunday I got my ride 'Shahin' lowered with the help of XR6ISM who sold me some Whiteline 'Control' Springs that he didn't need. He went with a lower set of Pedders on his Ride.We got a friend of his to install them and after taking a spin and letting them settle I ended up with a drop of 5mm in the front and 15mm in the back. I like the look as I just wanted to take the edge of the height not drop the car too much, to test I hit the nearest Westfields car park and gave all those speed bumps and humps a run, no scraping so all in all a good result.Before SpringsAfter SpringsThe springs ride very similar to the stockies, maybe just a touch harder, but when cornering they stiften up and give a lot better feel. So I think I got an upgrade to my handling, an improvement on the looks and one very happy XR6T pilot!RegardsGJ
September 28, 200422 yr #2 Nice one GjBooth. Had mine done last week and have been rapped with the result. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...opic=12994&st=0A bit lower than yours and I am on 17s as well. I believe one of the better bang for buck mods you can make on the car.Welcome to the club?
September 28, 200422 yr #3 looks nice - getting mine done on monday with a set of king springs sport lows. Cant wait.Dazza.
September 28, 200422 yr #5 Looks good looks tops I reckon how much did they set you back by the way?Julza
September 28, 200422 yr #6 Author Julza,I spent $200 on getting em installed, and got a mates rates deal on them from XR6ISM for $250 they normally RRP for $335.RegardsGJ
September 28, 200422 yr #8 Nice look! Where do you buy this type of springs? Most lowering goes down approx 25mm I think for everyday this is to low, but I think your height is low enough.Where in Sydney can I get these springs. Did you need a wheel alignment or a camber kit.
September 28, 200422 yr #9 Author Cheese send a PM to XR6ISM and I am sure he will be able to give you the details of where he originally picked em up. According to the installer there was no need for either a camber kit or wheel alignment, even though I will probably get them done shortly anyway.RegardsGJ
