Drives fine all over town, just gotta know to take it slow and at an angle. If you take some driveways front on even a standard XR will scrape. So, if you're scraping, slow down and angle it!!

So I replaced the whole lot with koni sports and king springs and the difference is amazing it worth replacing the whole lot in the end as I have learned.

Does anyone else have a problem with bouncing at high speed? I normally would have replaced everything at once as that's what I have done with my other cars, but I want to spend the extra cash on a phase 1.

Guest bossman Guests Posted 30/04/04 03:34 AM Share Posted 30/04/04 03:34 AM I have my lowered 1 1/2 inches (pedder springs) on standard shocks, it feels firmer of course but is fine. There is a better, more accurate feel with corners etcHave not scrapped mine yet.
