I am not after super low I just want car to sit level and a improvement in handling. Any comments/feedback about them would be appreciated to help me make up my mind Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91005-shockworks-coilovers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think shockworks is a sponsor there also. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91005-shockworks-coilovers/#findComment-1558321 Share on other sites More sharing options...

petchyboy Member 76 Member For: 15y 7m Gender: Male Posted 17/08/15 05:16 AM Share Posted 17/08/15 05:16 AM Second that, fantastic set for the Falcons. Designed specifically for them by someone who worked for fpv designing shocks. If I remember correctly he describes them as what he always wanted to do at fpv but had restrictions.For me on softest settings it's just as soft as stock but rides bumps and handles awesome, still playing with the settings though to find my perfect balance. Best thing is the car turns corners now and no more axel tramp. While you look at shockworks check out his front brake kit, epic.
