Max Power Member 381 Member For: 21y 12d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 25/02/05 01:22 AM Share Posted 25/02/05 01:22 AM Got some 19s today and it looks like it can do with a bit of lowering.I did a search and reading through all the results found that SL fronts and SSL rear King springs is what members are doing. As Ive got a 'tricky' driveway, I was hoping that someone with this combo can provide centre cap to wheel arch measurements for the front and rear so I can see if I can go the same heights and avoid scraping. Anyone?How about alternatives to the King springs?Recommended places to supply and fit in Sydney?Regards,Max Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15960-ride-height-changes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only a guide line and may vary depending on the vehicle.

Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 25/02/05 02:31 AM Share Posted 25/02/05 02:31 AM Thanks Cro,I know what happend last time I mentioned Raising the T, but my fat arse has caused the sprins to sag more, so my car really scrapes bad. I need to get something done about it....and jackhammering my driveway is not an option, as has been suggested in the past I just need 10-15mm, and my wife knows that all I need is new springs....I did try to ask for Koni's, anti roll bars and new stiffer springs, but she is one smart chick and said NO CHANCE.

Max Power Member 381 Member For: 21y 12d Location: MENAI, NSW Posted 25/02/05 03:25 AM Author Share Posted 25/02/05 03:25 AM The 19's havent raised it at all from the 17's. Ive got 245/35 on the front and 275/30 on the rear. IMO the bigger wheel and smaller tyre accentuates the height of the wheel arch which therefore needs to drop a bit.Max Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/15960-ride-height-changes/#findComment-224251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
