He went with a lower set of Pedders on his Ride.We got a friend of his to install them and after taking a spin and letting them settle I ended up with a drop of 5mm in the front and 15mm in the back. I like the look as I just wanted to take the edge of the height not drop the car too much, to test I hit the nearest Westfields car park and gave all those speed bumps and humps a run, no scraping so all in all a good result.Before SpringsAfter SpringsThe springs ride very similar to the stockies, maybe just a touch harder, but when cornering they stiften up and give a lot better feel. So I think I got an upgrade to my handling, an improvement on the looks and one very happy XR6T pilot!RegardsGJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had mine done last week and have been rapped with the result. http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.ph...opic=12994&st=0A bit lower than yours and I am on 17s as well. I believe one of the better bang for buck mods you can make on the car.Welcome to the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Member 51 Member For: 21y 5m 29d Posted 28/09/04 03:55 AM Share Posted 28/09/04 03:55 AM Nice look! Where do you buy this type of springs? Most lowering goes down approx 25mm I think for everyday this is to low, but I think your height is low enough.Where in Sydney can I get these springs. Did you need a wheel alignment or a camber kit.

According to the installer there was no need for either a camber kit or wheel alignment, even though I will probably get them done shortly anyway.RegardsGJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
