Posted 13/06/09 12:03 AM Posted 13/06/09 12:03 AM I dont think that is the point. If I buy a table with one short leg, a book under it is a solution but not a fix for the problem. If there is a design flaw then a recall should be announced. I dont want to be out with a tub full and give it some to get up a hill or pass someone and then have the back end sh*t itself.

Ford do not care what happens after you have modified the suspension. Herrods fix applies to utes that have been lowered only. They recognised a problem and know how to get around it.SCATRD - I've forgotten what the problem is, you'd have to ask them. Edited 14/06/09 05:08 AM by Venom XR6

I'm thing of going 40 mm at rear! also has anyone tried lowering blocks and are thay easily reversred when car needs to go in for service?
alexr8 Member 42 Member For: 17y 11m 22d Gender: Male Posted 14/06/09 09:29 AM Author Posted 14/06/09 09:29 AM Not sure how low but mine was slammed hard. Looked great and the ride was quite good considering how low it was but breaking CV's is an expensive process! Im getting mine raised another 30mm in the rear and I have kings super super lows in the front and once its raised taht should bring the rear a touch lower than the front
