How Much To Lower The Xr?


SIKXE8

Recommended Posts

I tried to get SSL's all round today but was told they don't make them for the rear in BF?? I had them in my BA so assumed they were the same... Am I right?

Anyone know the part numbers for the SSL's front & rear :fool:

you really dont want to go any lower then SL in the front... I have AU SL springs in the front of mine and they are about an inch or thereabouts lower then BA SL springs and are really to low!

personaly I think SSL in the rear is not low enough, and if there were such thing as SSSL then I would be tempted to go that route..

heres a pic of my car with SSL rears and AU SL FRONTS

Mostly the front bar mate, I'd love to go lower on the rears so that the rim just sits on the guard but ive got a steep driveway and my exhaust bottoms out!
