The front coilover comes with the shock and spring, which coils over the shock.Height usually needs to be adjusted before installing. Edited 27/09/14 03:27 PM by .Stripes.

Does the FPV models come with Herrod?If not, I think ill just settle for them to be reset for a lower stance.

Herrod are a big performance workshop over east.If you're going to lower it and you value your tailshaft I'd be looking at the Herrod leafs as they're designed to keep the pinion angle correct when lowering, which helps keep the CV's in the tailshaft from popping and you then needing to buy a new tailshaft.Just my 2c... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88673-shockworks-coilovers-installation-impressions-pics/page/8/#findComment-1502532 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, when resetting, its a process of heating the metal leafs and reshaping them. Wouldn't this be a safe and cheaper alternative to new leafs?

Only 100 years late.Been e-mailing brett. He said that guys who have been resetting leafs have not had any issues, except to report stiffness in the rear.
