Lowered Xr6t

[Guest PHNTUM]

I heard the best springs to use are a german made IBACH lowered spring they never sag ovr time but r very expensive around the $320 mark .

Has anyone used them or does anyone know where to get em.

I know SVO is an agent to sell em.

Falchoon could you please post what specific mods you had done, and your driving experiences post mod wth it

Thanks mate

My initial thoughts were that the car seems to ride a lot harder, maybe too harsh with the new springs and that maybe I'd stuffed up by getting it done. But the more I drive it the more I get used to it and two days later it seems OK. It is still a lot softer sprung than my EB with Lovells and Bilsteins. It sits a lot flatter on the road thanks to the 30mm front and 24mm rear sway bars. The ride height doesn't seem to low (so far), just brings the tyres up into the guards ever so slightly, so looks wise it's OK. It would be far too impractical to have it any lower though I see plenty of Late model camira utes around that are a lot lower. I guess the real test will come next weekend when I plan a trip down through Kangaroo Valley and Cambawara Mtn.

Should try pedders suspension.Made my ute ride nice and handle awesome.

Pedders have sold there franchise to a overseas company there products imported are not as good a you think and you will find that the cheap imported springs will sag over time and I have had lots of problems with there shocks. Never again

There only two brands of products IBACH spring German made of the best quality.

King springs ok but still have my doubts. Still looking for more info on spring so plz share you views.

In shocks KONI is the market leader in performance shockers.

The way I see it if you can afford 50k for a car why would u put pedders cheap lowering kit for around $500

Harrod Motor sport lowered kit seem very good ay around $950 using good products.

SVO Motorsport use IBACH springs and differnt leaf spring at the back for around the same $800

But I have decided to purchase IBACH springs, KMAC rachet style CASTOR/CAMBER kit and New lowered leaf springs (Not reset ones cos they start to sag after time too) and std sway bars are big enough so not required to be replace with bigger ones.
