Looks good and handles better. its not too low. I ll take some photos of it on saturday. I left the stock shocks on. its more than adequate as long as u dont go too low.I recommend it.

That's a hot car there Jimmy... love the colour.I have Kings SL/SSL springs in my T with the stock shocks and it looks good, handles well and isn't too low (though the 20's help bring it up a bit) and the ride quality is excellent once again even with 35 profile 20's, it's brilliant on long trips...All up it cost me $450 fitted...

I might have got ripped off a bit but they did a good job. they had to do the back springs twice because he said he wasnt happy with the first set that he put on.regarding the driveways or speed bumps, so far I have not scraped underneath the car except the mudflaps. but u have to take it easy otherwise it will scrap.I ll take some photos for u today. gonna give it a good wash and clean now Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25458-pedders-springs/#findComment-383903 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont even attempt some of them. I've had my fair share of scraping the underneath, but at the end of the day its nothing really visible!
