Now in me not knowing jack about suspension and the fact that when I bought my car from the 2nd hand dealer they weren't aware of what was even done to it. I owned the car for a month before someone identified that I had a upgraded intercooler. I had spoken to the original owner and he explained that he bought the XR6T to put his yacht (rather big boat) in the water. He has had an custom made Hayman and Reece tow package on it for that reason. I'm just wondering would he of put stiffer springs in the rear for that reason. I crawled under the car and found a yellow label on the rear springs saying 047-003 AA02. That means................to me. I have parked my car beside my ex's XR6 and it does appear to be 1/4 inch if that lower than hers. So any help muchly appreciated. If anyone want me to get some more details just ask.

Id probably take it they are the heavy duty ford springs because it did have the 1600kg tow pack from factory and he had it removed to install this Hayman and Reece tow package that was rated at 2000kg. that's was his reasoning that he sold the car was because ford said his warranty would be void because his boat was more than 1600kgs. Rather good buy on my behalf though.
