ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 2m 24d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 02/06/05 09:08 AM Share Posted 02/06/05 09:08 AM Ok, it got to the point of badly grinding the underbody of my car on the driveway everytime I drove in. It looks like the stock springs had sagged much worse over the past 2 months, so I needed a cost effective solution to the problem.I have had suggestions from the forum about moving house or redoing the driveway, but at the end of the day it all came down to cost .$30+k to move$15k to redo the driveway$1360 to do the suspension.So I choose the cheaper option Ordered a set of King Spring (Low) front and rear. These are low in relation to the BA XT Falcon's ride height, apparently they are the same height at the XR6T. They are also 30% stiffer, so less likely to sag in the future.I also got Koni Ajustables all round to make the car handle better due to the increase in the roll height.It does look a bit weird, so I have dubbed the car RTVT Now I can drive into the driveway and not scrape at all......It was worth the effort....and the I know I will cop from you lot for doing this I now think I have the Highest T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/17992-rtv-t-raising-the-t/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
