I reckon these look fine, just needs lowering and bigger brakes. Thanks! Still not upgrading the brakes though. Maybe if I ever decide to upgrade power, or fill the boot with concrete it'll be warranted .. Apologies for the overuse of smilies, I can't get enuff of 'em Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35795-lowering-on-20-wheels/page/2/#findComment-544727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will start another thread for people to hang sh!t on me for choosing this car because it had those rims on it. OR NOT, since buying a car is a personal choice, made for personal reasons. Your opinion, whilst important to you, means jack sh!t to me.Can't see your car pictured anywhere champ, got any photo's? :banghead: AND! WTF matter is it if the brakes look small compared to the wheels? They aren't there to look good, they are there to stop the car. Thanks to others for responding to my post with meaningful info - anyone else who wants to give me cr@p about the way something looks can PM me, so we can leave it off the forum. Warm RegardsSimonthat's ok, the pleasure is all mine...I still drive my Fairmont, as I have not found a decent XR6t in Perth for sale yet...Enjoy your w.end champ Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35795-lowering-on-20-wheels/page/2/#findComment-544790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, got them fitted to my car and had the plain 57 fitted previously, yeah they're lower alrighty, but I reckon on the edge alignment wise. 57's didnt seem to drop the car much at all.The 520 and 320 are lb ratings, different to their regular offerings.

Sorry I cant offer you any technical advice, cos I'm just a girl... but I definitely think you should go ahead and lower it !! Even if it is just for looks, it'll be worth it.I'll do mine if you do yours.. Pnut.

That what I am thinking of doing. Changing from the 57 to the 57SL. They don't list them under the BA for some reason.Down the bottom of the catalogue in the super low section they list the KFFL-57 as a super low option for BA XR, the only difference is the part no is shaded indicating progressive rate. Unless it's a typo and it should say KFFL-57SL. Ah, I'm confused.......
