I've been looking at their undercarriages and I think its quite possible to do. Has anyo0ne tried this? I am sick of the leaf spring on my ute, its good for what it is though.

I like the leaf spring set up in mine from a performance point of view, it is very predictable and I can run more power and launch harder than the sedan guys because I don't have to worry about shattering the CV joints in the irs setup.

Dr Concrete Member 69 Member For: 19y 9m 23d Location: Adelaide Posted 18/03/06 04:18 AM Author Share Posted 18/03/06 04:18 AM Your right about that, in a drag racing point of view. For cornering the leaf springs can make the ute very unpredictable at racing pace. For drifting its ok, but the ute also lacks enough lock for some situations.

It's cheaper and work exactly like a 4 link setup.Brett Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24129-ba-xr6-turbo-ute-rear-suspension/#findComment-361061 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried to fit them but there was only 30mm of ground clearance due to the height of my ute.

Dr Concrete Member 69 Member For: 19y 9m 23d Location: Adelaide Posted 19/03/06 05:53 AM Author Share Posted 19/03/06 05:53 AM man a 4 link is still not my cup of tea, its a very old setup. Sure the v8 supercars use them, but that's only due to cost factors. Is the ford control blade irs as good as a silvia or r32 gtr irs setup?
