There's a few options but most people here seem to go for the King Springs superlow kit. From memory I think it drops the front by 20-30mm and the back by about 50-60mm for a 'level sill' effect.I had the King Springs installed on my T a while back, see pics below - note that it has since settled a bit more so looks a bit lower again. The rims on my car are 18", so depending on your own tastes/circumstances it could look better with 19" or larger wheels. Springs can be had for around $220 on eBay or other sources and you should be able to get them fitted for about $200. I paid $400 for my springs and fitting. Hope this helps.

I'm presuming the Super super lows are in the back ???Danny.

Bain Member 827 Member For: 20y 1m 30d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 14/06/06 05:02 AM Share Posted 14/06/06 05:02 AM Heres my thoughts on it.I originally bought a set of King Springs SL fronts and SSL rears when I had my 17 inch MKII rims.It looked like this.After getting my 19 inch rims I have found the car has raised itself by about an inch..It now looks like this.If you are planning to get rims down the track. Save yourself $250 and get the SSL fronts and SSSL rearsI will most likely get the original springs reset to a lower rate and see how they go as ive heard they are little more soft and help with launching the car Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26170-lowering-your-xr6t/#findComment-394454 Share on other sites More sharing options...
