Just chasing a bit of advice I've currently got a '14 xr6 turbo with SSL's all around with standard shocks, currently reaching the point where the standard shocks have had it are needing to be replaced, plus the rides pretty sh*thouse I've done a little bit of research on some lowered shocks and I'm just wanting to know what the best to go with is I've heard mixed reviews with the Munroes, some say they're great and others say they're as hard as, which won't be ideal for me as I drive 30 minutes to work on country roads Trying to look for something that's also not going to be too hard on the wallet, but I'm not wanting to cheap out on China crap Any input would be great Cheers!

Hey Lads, New to this site, looks awesome Just over 12 months ago I traded in my 2011 FG2 XR6 N/A in on a VF2 SS. Very bad decision and long story short I'm now back to a 2013 FG2 XR6 N/A. My old XR6 was an ex Highway Patrol in WA, which meant it was a tad lower than stock. I want my new XR6 to be the same as it was a good height for it to look good and just a bit different however it wasn't too low. I do a lot of country driving for work and one of the highways is terrible I think I'll bottom out if I get it too low. I have a feeling my old falcon was only lowered in the back however I remember I always had to go sideways down kerbs because the front would always scrape so I'm not too sure. I know it had king springs on it but I don't know if it had upgraded shocks too or not. My old one looked mean from the back and you could tell the difference between mine and a stock one quite easily. A setup I have been thinking about is the King springs Lowered EHD Coils KFRL-68SSLHD? without shocks just in the rear and leave the front? I think they're meant to be 30mm lower than stock? What you guys think? I would like to avoid the shocks if possible just because I'm not looking to spend heaps. Just chasing some advice on what the setup may have been and whether I do need to get shocks as well or not. Cheers Guys

Hi All, Still being a newbie I just had a question to ask. Are the rear shocks as simple to change as I think they are. Is it basically just remove the tire to get it out of the way, basically a nut at the top of the shock and a nut at the bottom or something along those lines ?? Instead of paying a mechanic I wanna try it myself, mates have told me its piss easy, should be a good experience for me.

My BA XR6T needs new shockies. I have looked at a Bilstein set for $1,000 which I am sure are good but what are other people using and how do they perform? I am mainly looking to reduce body roll (so perhaps I should be looking at sway bars too) and I still want a reasonably compliant ride. I am not looking for 'track performance' just a little more precision in handling and less body roll. What are other members doing and what do they find to be good for them, please? -
hey guys just found out that ineed new front shocks so I thought I might look at my fg xr6t instead and sort of don't really know where to start. I've forund this package on fleabay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Falcon-FG-KING-SPRING-MONROE-SHOCK-Lowered-Suspension-Package-/300776120075?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4607a75f0b but not sure if I need to buy anything else to go with it or if its any good, any decent feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
