Roweyy New Member 20 Member For: 11y 11m 26d Posted 16/06/13 05:01 AM Share Posted 16/06/13 05:01 AM Hey I am a newbie here and just purchased a 2008 FG XR6. I am looking to lower it on it's factory 18's but I am planning on getting some 20's in the near future. I also don't want it to be too low and attract too much attention from the cops. I want to spend around $1500 but am fairly flexible what setups do you guys recommend and also any other parts I will need?Thanks Roweyy Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/85302-lowering-fg-xr6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 13y 15d Posted 26/06/13 02:18 PM Share Posted 26/06/13 02:18 PM I've got King lows on my FG and it handles very nicely still using factory struts.When you lower the car wheels can go out of alignment no matter whether you are using Coilovers or just Aftermarket Springs.
