The only problem I have with them is that I can't remember at what settings I left them at.

I then have to zero them out and adjust the clicks accordingly.

I am yet to go full retard and set them all to 10 or is 12 and see what it feels like.

I get my hands through my rim spokes and adjust them too. Takes just as long as the fronts.

I sort of know where they are already.

 

Luke didn't even see me adjust mine on the last cruise as I was that quick adjusting them.

I found it easier laying down with my head facing towards the rear of the car and just sticking my arm under the sideskirt just in front of the rear wheel...less f*cking and cleaner than putting your hand/arm through the rims...

Is this another brand war like intercoolers where everyone's just jumped on the bandwagon cos one guy was a better salesman than the rest but no actual real world back to back testing has been performed? I think maybe

Not true mate but as I said I can only comment on series 1 XA's 

 

I can first hand comment on the 

 

TIEN EDFC

Pedders XA's series 1 

Shockworks

XYZ's 

 

all in falcons and shockworks are imho the best for comfort and stability which is not typical in a coilover, the comfort part I believe to be as good as a shock spring combo and this is an area Brian from shockworks really worked on and the fact shockworks are specifically designed for the falcon where the other coilovers are generic and made to fit

You mean Brett, right?...

 

I'm with JET though, I've experienced various setups in Falcons and from a street car perspective the Shockworks setup is by far the best. Even on the track, the Shockworks gave the car more traction and predictability than the Teins...the Teins were noticeably more bouncy and unsettled easier, which is similar to the experience I've had with the XA coilovers in my 'Onda.

Shockworks are king for coilovers for our car's ( imho )

bilsteins are king of shocks for our car's ( imho )

 

do you want coilovers or shock/springs ?

 

installed both and both are brilliant at what they are intended to do

Just an update... Emailed Brett from Shockworks... BA-BF Coilovers are $2200... Delivery to Syd West is $60... Sounds like a value upgrade. 

Question... Currently have Pedders generic red urethane front lower control arm bushes ... Harsh as... Was thinking of a change to super-pro? Any other recommendations?
