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. Hi, Ive got the low all round and ive had the car to over 200km/hr (in controlled conditions ) and the car is fine.Frank Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10449-lowering-the-xr6/page/2/#findComment-116802 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I plan on running the car at the track then maybe get shocks to reduce lap time but just for the street I'm happy with standard. Having a lowered car does require careful driving when encountering driveways, speed humps etc but don't be afraid it just takes some getting use to.

(Anyone have this problem?)I took it back to Herrods to heve a look but the suspension decided not to squeek anymore. Then it started to squeek again when I got home.

There is a better, more accurate feel with corners etcHave not scrapped mine yet. Can you tell me what model your springs are?I spoke to my local Pedders man today and he said my car would only drop by 3mm at the front with what they call low coils.
