Ride quality is very acceptable and there's certainly no rubbing with 18" wheels.

Super low (SL) for the front and super super low(SSL) for the rear. It levels the car out reasonably well and I have no trouble with my 18's even under hard cornering.

With APS exhaust should you ever choose to fit one, the enormous hi-flow cat hangs down below body underside and I would certainly be wary of lowering with such a system fitted. My suspenders are modded but at same ride height and even then the Woolies car park strips can scrape the cat at its junction with the exhaust.Dingah Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22059-lowering-springs/#findComment-326394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
