    Thanks Pat, will definately do the shocks as well. Cheers!

  • I'm pretty keen to learn more about this. I bought my FG Turbo ute last week and have been scouring the net for more information relating to it. From what I've read on this forum and others, it seems

  • Yes more info needed. My ute was built in August 2011 so if they made running changes I would expect it to have them... I'll run out with a torch and see if it's one or two piece...

I have SSL on the front of mine and once settled it lowers about 40mm. I have lowered the back 50mm and it still sits a bit higher than the front. Although it looks great if I had my time again I would go 45-50mm at the back but only SL at the front. SSL is just that bit too low for driveways, kerbs and speed humps because the utes have such a looong wheel base. If you do go SSL at the front, dont forget a camber kit other wise you will wear out the inside of your tyres very quickly because of too much negative camber.

Hey mate, How much is it too lower arse end of your fg?

PM me your location and I can try and sort out some pricing for you and if you are in NSW we can work on complete installation prices too.

Cheers

Hi mate, Can you give me a price to supply suspension to lower the back of my fg ute 50mm?

Correct me if im wrong, but doesn't lowering it mess with the DSC?

ANyone got some good info on this? I was warned it would wig out the way it works?

Cheers

just a quick update, had the SL king's put in the front today but it has only dropped about 12mm. so I am waiting until next week for them to sag a little and then im going to do the back so ill have pics up then. cheers.

If you dramatically change the ride height (ie taking all travel out of the suspension) you may have issues with the way the DSC works, but majority of cars lowered to a reasonable height don't have any issues

don't know about dsc but I know the abs still works good... tested that out when I didn't see a pedestrian crossing lol.. still pulled up well without locking them up..

#39

I bet the pedestrian :pooh: !!

just a thought. the cv is wearing out because of the change in angle between the tail shaft and the diff pinion angle. I know you can shim diff pinion angles in the e series falcons to stop diff chatter. I wonder if we could shim it to fix the change in angle???
