Thanks dude will do

Hey guys just about to order some king springs to lower fg ute The choice is between SSL and SSSL front and rear (front springs, new rear leafs) Much difference in getting new kings leafs for the rear or should I just have my stock reset? as the kings rears are where the costs come into it! Ssl said to make centre wheel to hub 355 at the front and 360 at the rear SSSl said to make centre wheel to hub 345 at the front and 350 at the rear Apprently kings said they can have trouble/issues with SSSL on the rear, has anyone experienced this? The sssl on the rear definitely would look better IMO but dont want to be faced with replacing stuff as a result by the way, wheels are 20s by 8.5 on the front (+20) and 20s by 10 on the rear (+15) any advice would be awesome Thanks

Ok thanks dude! Sounds like fronts I could have almost pushed +20 front and +10 rear

Wheels all ordered, now to wait and see them in the flesh and hope they fit ok 20 x 8.5 on the front +25 off set 20 x 10 on the rear +15 off set standard height fg f6 ute will lower and possibly have to guard roll rear

rear is a 10 inch also sorry

Interesting thread guys Im about to order some 20's for the FG ute and was going to go 8.5 +20 on the front (seems like that's the choice for flush) but was also going to go +20 on the rear, after the above it seems like I could go a bit lower offset on the rear, maybe like a +10 or +12 or something? Any one run this set up?

And p.s Deshi that looks tough, what have you done to make it sit that low? springs, coilovers? and how does it ride

Ok so looks like im going to get my guards rolled, what would be a nice yet still agressive (flush) look on fg ute 20 x 8.5 fronts (custom off set) 20 x 10 rears (custom off set) Once I have worked out an offset, there ready to be ordered! ute at stock height at the moment but want to lower

Thanks man I thought utes went lower offset ike +12 or +15 in the rear because of the guard space? Sounds like to look good, guards need to be rolled, feck, not overly keen on that but may have to bite the bullet Has anyone had close to flush without having to touch the guards? That would be ideal

Firstly, sorry guys I'm sure this has been asked and I would look through the past threads but I need to order today, bit of a rush Fg f6 ute 20 x 8.5 front 20 x 10 rear I'm after the most flush/filled out guard look possible without having to roll or pump the guards What is my best choice for a custom off set? I can get between +30 down to +15 on, but he said the +15 probably would need guards rolled Stock height at the moment but want to lower ASAP not stupid low but a tough stance Thanks heaps in advance!

that's my concern too The ego color is so nice on a sunny day with the metalic through it I would hate for it to be a noticably different colour :(

Thanks Chaos Sorry to be a newbie but what should I be looking at for valve springs? $, one brand better than another? Now next mods to aim for..... Im open to suggestions lol

Howdy mate Only took a photo of the dyno on my I phone, didnt get a glimpse at the torque measures I just wanted to get in and drive the thing! Mine is a 2010 model and has ford badge on steering wheel, not fpv badge, I think this differs the euro 3 from 4? could be wrong? So much more fun now, feels almost more controllable when wheelspinning too which is odd Bruce has an f6 and he said his is also apart of the unlucky batch

Hey Guys Finally got me first bit of work done to my ford f6 ute, and im very happy Saw Bruce from Heinrich performance in Adelaide (the apparent Ford guru) Pretty basic, it had a K&N filter in already, put a hi flo cat in and had the xcal 3 custom tune and Bruce modded the airbox slightly (larger hole made in bottom of box) and it came out with 353 rwkw very happy From what I have read, Bruces dyno runs a little high, but still, the power difference is VERY noticable Went from 8pound boost to 17 now, pulls much harder, spools louder and even makes more of BOV noise on gear change (some find it tacky but im loving it now!) Now im hooked and look forward to doing more mods down the track! Only downside, Bruce said my f6 has the dodgy valve springs that a batch of the F6s have, so sometimes when hitting redline/wheel spinning, when you change gears it goes a bit underpowered and you need to release the throttle for a couple of seconds, any advice for this new valve springs?

Rowdy im hearing ya, I rang them down here in Adelaide (2 different ford dealers) neither of them sounded like they wanted a bar of it. I have to drive there for them to 'inspect' it now Considering just leaving them, although they do scrape every time I leave/enter my driveway, kind of annoying

See I dont mind those headlights Especially on a dark color, blends in well. I know there some on here that arent a fan but I guess ya get that with anything in life, different strokes for different folks How the new 20's going? ride ok?

Lol all good toretto they are waaaay outta my budget sir

Yep understand ya completely mate Most people have got back to me on the inbox messages, some havnt. I have about 10 photos of smurfs car on my phone, hence me liking his old varrstoens, not sure how they would look in black on a ford ute though cant find any pics jst yet!

I have gone through that and also the shoe mega whore thread but SO much talking compared to pics! It takes hrs to scroll through lol

After spending hours upon hours on the internet and trying to find photos, I am still yet to come across many to help me choose a fresh set of wheels for and f6 Fg ute Looking at going staggered betwee 9-9.5 front and 10-10.5 rear Varrstoen? Stance wheels? Any other brands or styles people suggest? And if you have any pics, please post, I have wasted hours googling and yet to find some wheels or photos to help me make my mind up Cheers

FGED up, are the the ADV5.1? Went on their website, was pretty confusing Are you going 19s or 20s and how many beans for the 4 wheels no tyres?

Thanks mate Ok I see what your saying, may have to get a quote on flapper mod too What do they do exactly to the turbo?

Hey guys Next week will be doing my first small mods to my F6 Looking at xcal 3 tune, airbox modding/piping, hi flo cat and POSSIBLY a new dump pipe From what I have read, people have mentioned a 4inch dump? What is the best brand for this and how much should I expect to pay? The tuner mentioned something about it possibly being difficult to run on a stock exhaust system? I would love to go whole exhaust, but its just a money thing and plus I kind of like it being a bit of a sleeper New dump worth it or just stick with the tune, hi flo cat and air box changes? Thanks in advance

x 3 smurfs wheels/tyres price etc

I have found these sweet ones sc-6 in a grey color, would suit my ego color ute down to a tee Spoke with a guy here in SA that can order them, but they dont have that style and unless they order 80pces, I have to pay big bucks on freight!
