Lowering Fg Xr6

[Roweyy]

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

King springs sssl rear, ssl front with bilstein shocks all round. Might cost you a tad over 1500 fitted.

What is the cars handling like now and do you have a picture of how it sits?

[willo88]

plenty of pics, combos and talk about setups in here mate

but it does handle a lot better than stock

[Roweyy]

Had a look the ssl/sssl seems to be the go. Thanks for your help!

If your car is an N/A XR6 you will need SSSL fronts also - if it is a turbo you will need SSL

Hey I was just wondering if I put SSSL in what will I need to do to adjust the camber?

[spinr33]

Get xyz coil overs not a lot more mate and have the height you want any trouble you can easily raise it again

[Roweyy]

Coilovers don't need the camber adjusted if I am correct? Sorry I am new to most of this.

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.
